SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.,
Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and
Budget (``OMB'') for each collection of information they conduct or
sponsor. ``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3)
and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that
members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A), requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day
notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed extension of an existing
collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. To comply with this requirement, the Commission is publishing
notice of the proposed collection of information listed below.
Title: Procurement Contracts (OMB Control No. 3038-0031). This is a
request for an extension of a currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: The information collected under this request is gathered
through the use of forms specific to a contract or contracting action.
The standard forms are prescribed for use for non-personal services,
construction, award of contracts and solicitations as by agencies in
connection with the procurement of supplies, purchase and delivery
orders, specified in the Federal Acquisition Regulations (48 CFR 1-53).
The information provided on the forms is specific and generally does
not require additional information or questions.
With respect to the following collection of information, the
Commission invites comments on:
Whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the information will have a practical
use;
The accuracy of the Commission's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
Ways to enhance the quality, usefulness, and clarity of
the information to be collected; and
Ways to minimize the burden of collection of information
on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology; e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
You should submit only information that you wish to make available
publicly. If you wish the Commission to consider information that you
believe is exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act,
a petition for confidential treatment of the exempt information may be
submitted according to the procedures established in Sec. 145.9 of the
Commission's regulations.
The Commission reserves the right, but shall have no obligation, to
review, pre-screen, filter, redact, refuse or remove any or all of your
submission from http://www.cftc.gov that it may deem to be
inappropriate for publication, such as obscene language. All
submissions that have been redacted or removed that contain comments on
the merits of the information collection request will be retained in
the public comment file and will be considered as required under the
Administrative Procedure Act and other applicable laws, and may be
accessible under the Freedom of Information Act.
Burden Statement: The Commission is revising its estimate of the
burden for this collection to reflect changed circumstances below.
The information collection consists of procurement activities
relating to solicitations, amendments to solicitations, requests for
quotations, construction contracts, awards of contracts, performance
bonds, and payment information for individuals (vendors) or contractors
engaged in providing supplies or services.
The Commission estimates the burden of this collection of
information as follows:
Respondents/Affected Entities: Vendors and contractors.
Estimated number of respondents: 1,096.
Estimated burden hours per response: 2 hours.
Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 2,192 hours.
Frequency of responses: Annually.
There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs
associated with this collection.
(Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)
