SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    FAR clause 52.223-6, Drug-Free Workplace, requires (1) contractor 
employees to notify their employer of any criminal drug statute 
conviction for a violation occurring in the workplace; and (2) 
Government contractors, after receiving notice of such conviction, to 
notify the contracting officer. The clause is not applicable to 
commercial items, contracts at or below simplified acquisition 
threshold (unless awarded to an individual), and contracts performed 
outside the United States or by law enforcement agencies. The clause 
implements the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 (Pub. L. 100-690).
    The information provided to the Government is used to determine 
contractor compliance with the statutory requirements to maintain a 
drug-free workplace.

    Respondents: 598.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 598.
    Hours per Response: .5.

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
functions of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), and whether it 
will have practical utility; whether our estimate of the public burden 
of this collection of information is accurate, and based on valid 
assumptions and methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 
clarity of the information to be collected; and ways in which we can 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, through the use of appropriate technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology.
