SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (PRA)
provides that an agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a
collection of information, and no person is required to respond to, nor
be subject to, a penalty for failure to comply with a collection of
information, unless that collection has obtained Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) approval and displays a currently valid OMB Control
Number.
This information collection requirement supports implementation of
Section 1634 of Division A of the National Defense Authorization Act
(NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2018 (Pub. L. 115-91). This section of the NDAA
prohibits Government use of any hardware, software, or services
developed or provided, in whole or in part, by Kaspersky Lab or its
related entities. This requirement is implemented in the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) through the clause at FAR 52.204-23,
Prohibition on Contracting for Hardware, Software, and Services
Developed or Provided by Kaspersky Lab and Other Covered Entities.
This clearance covers the information contractors must submit to
comply with the requirements of FAR 52.204-23,
[[Page 63164]]
which requires contractors to report covered products identified during
performance of a contract.
DoD, GSA, and NASA request approval of this information collection
in order to implement the law. The information will be used by agency
personnel to identify and remove prohibited hardware, software, or
services from Government use.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
The public reporting burden for this collection of information
consists of reports of identified covered articles during contract
performance as required by 52.204-23. Reports are estimated to average
1.5 hour per response, including the time for reviewing definitions,
searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data
needed, and completing and reviewing the report.
Number of Respondents: 4,882.
Responses per Respondent: 5.
Total Responses: 24,410.
Average Burden Hours per Response: 1.5.
Total Burden Hours: 36,615.
C. Public Comments
A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register at 83 FR
