technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FAR Case 2026-001; Revolutionary Federal 
Acquisition Regulation Overhaul Parts 1, 2, 4, 33, 39, 40, and 53 (91 
FR 37550); includes information collections under the PRA. Following 
are the collections previously approved by OMB that would be revised by 
the proposed rule.

OMB Control No. 9000-0189

    The changes under the proposed rule, if finalized, would revise the 
information collection and the paperwork burden previously approved by 
OMB under OMB Control Nos. 9000-0177, Reporting Executive Compensation 
and First-tier Subcontract Awards; and 9000-0189, Certain Federal 
Acquisition Regulation Part 4 Requirements. The public reporting burden 
for these collections of information will be consolidated under OMB 
Control No. 9000-0189 with the new title ``Federal Acquisition 
Regulation Part 4 Requirements'' and OMB Control No. 9000-0177 will be 
discontinued. Additionally, the public reporting burden for OMB Control 
No. 9000-0189 will be revised to exclude commercial acquisitions from 
the information collection requirements under the clauses at FAR 
52.204-10, 52.204-14, and 52.204-15 as described in section II. of the 
proposed rule's preamble.
    The revised annual reporting burden is estimated as follows:
    Respondents: 66,575.
    Total Annual Responses: 271,227.
    Total Burden Hours: 393,994.

OMB Control No. 9000-0199

    The changes under the proposed rule, if finalized, would revise the 
information collection and the paperwork burden previously approved by 
OMB under OMB Control Nos. 9000-0189 for the FAR 52.204-23 information 
collection; 9000-0199, Prohibition on Contracting for Certain 
Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment; and 
9000-0205, Implementation of Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security 
Act (FASCSA) Orders. The public reporting burden for these collections 
of information will be consolidated under OMB Control No. 9000-0199 
with the new title ``Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 40 
Requirements'' and OMB Control No. 9000-0205 will be discontinued. 
Additionally, the public reporting burden for OMB Control No. 9000-0199 
will be revised to add to the information collection burden to 
implement Section 203 in the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security 
Act of 2018, which is the title II of the ``Strengthening and Enhancing 
Cyber-capabilities by Utilizing Risk Exposure Technology Act'' (SECURE 
Technology Act) (Pub. L. 115-390); and Executive Order (E.O.) 13556, 
Controlled Unclassified Information, that established the Controlled 
Unclassified Information (CUI) Program and the National Archives and 
Records Administration's final rule at 81 FR 63324 on September 14, 
2016 to implement the CUI requirements of E.O. 13556.
