Program Services; Information
Collection; HSPD–12, Background
Check Investigations for Temporary
Contractors and Child Care Workers
AGENCY: Office of Facilities Management
and Program Services, Public Building
Service (PBS), General Services
Administration (GSA).
ACTION: Notice of request for comments
regarding a new OMB information
collection.
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the General Services
Administration will be submitting to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request to review and approve
the new information collection
requirement regarding the collection of
personal data for background check
investigations for temporary contractors
and child care workers accessing GSA
owned and leased controlled facilities.
Public comments are particularly
invited on: Whether this collection of
information is necessary 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.
DATES: Submit comments on or before:
April 20, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Layna Koentopf, Program Analyst,
Building Security and Policy Division,
GSA, 1800 F Street, NW., Washington,
DC 20405; or telephone (202) 208–1585.
Please cite OMB Control No. 3090–
00XX, HSPD–12, Background Check
Investigations for Temporary
Contractors and Child Care Workers.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments regarding
this burden estimate or any other aspect
of this collection of information,
including suggestions for reducing this
burden to the Regulatory Secretariat
(VPR), General Services Administration,
Room 4035, 1800 F Street, NW.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
Homeland Security Presidential
Directive (HSPD) 12 ‘‘Policy for a
PO 00000
Frm 00050
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
7439
Common Identification Standard for
Federal Employees and Contractors’’
requires the implementation of a
governmentwide standard for secure
and reliable forms of identification for
Federal employees and contractors.
OMB’s implementing instructions
require all contract employees requiring
routine access to federally controlled
facilities for greater than six (6) months
to receive a background investigation.
The minimum background investigation
is the National Agency Check with
Written Inquiries or NACI.
The policy on background check
requirements for temporary contractors,
defined as requiring access for six (6)
months or less, is up to each individual
agency. GSA requires that temporary
contractors who will be working up to
6 months and need routine access to
nonpublic areas of GSA-controlled
facilities shall either undergo a law
enforcement check or must be escorted,
at the minimum. Because of a lack of
escorting personnel, temporary
contractors expected to work more than
10 days usually receive law enforcement
checks.
In addition, there is no requirement in
the law or HSPD–12 that requires child
care employees to be subject to the
NACI since employees of child care
providers are neither government
employees nor government contractors.
Instead, the child care providers are
required to complete the criminal
history background checks mandated in
the Crime Control Act of 1990, Public
Law 101–647, dated November 29, 1990,
as amended by Public Law 102–190,
dated December 5, 1991. These statutes
require that each employee of a child
care center located in a Federal building
or in leased space must undergo a
background check.
According to GSA policy, both
temporary contractors and child care
workers (as described above) will need
to submit the following:
1. An original signed copy of a Basic
National Agency Check Criminal
History, GSA Form 176T (for temporary
contractors); or a Basic National Agency
Check Criminal History, GSA Form
176C (for child care workers); and
2. Two sets of fingerprints on FBI
Fingerprint Cards, for FD–258.
This is not a request to collect new
information, this is a request to change
the form that is currently being used to
collect this information. The new GSA
forms will be less of a public burden.
This information is presently being
collected on either the old Federal
Protective Service 176 Form or the
SF85P.

GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY
OFFICE
Publication of Volume III of GAO’s
‘‘Principles of Federal Appropriations
Law’’
AGENCY:
Government Accountability
Office.
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: The third edition of Volume
III of GAO’s ‘‘Principles of Federal
Appropriations Law’’ was recently
published by the Government Printing
Office (GPO). Government departments,
agencies, and other federal
organizations that normally require
more than one copy were given an
opportunity to request them through
their agencies’ account representatives
at a pre-publication rate. This notice is
intended for other parties who might be
interested in purchasing the book.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Government Accountability Office
(GAO) published Volume III of
‘‘Principles of Federal Appropriations
Law,’’ third edition—also known as
‘‘The Red Book.’’ This publication is
part of a multi-volume set intended to
present a basic reference covering those
areas of law in which the Comptroller
General renders decisions. Our
approach is to lay a foundation with text
discussion, using specific legal
authorities to illustrate the principles
discussed, their application, and
exceptions. These authorities include
GAO decisions and opinions, judicial
decisions, statutory provisions, and
other relevant sources.
GAO provided copies of this volume
to the heads and general counsels of
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
Federal agencies, and agencies were
already given an opportunity to place
advance (rider) orders for additional
copies of this volume with their account
representatives at the Government
Printing Office (GPO).
This notice is intended to tell the
general public that they can now order
this publication through GPO’s new
online bookstore, at https://
bookstore.gpo.gov/actions/
GetPublication.do?stocknumber=020000-00289-1. The price is $75.
Through periodic training courses on
federal appropriations law, GAO
believes that this publication might be
useful in particular to law offices, to
accounting firms, to the financial,
budget, or accounting officers of
government contractors, to university
and state law libraries, to corporate
chief financial officers, and to people
who follow federal financial
management, contracts, trust funds,
facilities management, and real
property.
We published the third edition in
loose-leaf format and include a CD-Rom.
Volume III includes four chapters
covering acquisition of goods and
services, real property, claims by and
against the government, and
miscellaneous topics such as boards and
commissions, government use of
corporate entities, nonappropriated
fund instrumentalities, and trust funds.
Volume III, third edition replaces the
old Volume IV, second edition. This
completes the third edition of The Red
Book. However, we plan to update the
third edition annually. The updates will
only be published electronically at
https://www.gao.gov/legal/redbook.htm.
GAO did not revise Volume III, second
edition. That volume covers topics that
are no longer the responsibility of GAO,
including claims settlement, debt
collection, and the payment of
judgments. Chapter 14 of Volume III,
third edition, briefly summarizes the
contents of Volume III, second edition.
Authority: 31 U.S.C. 712, 717, 719, 3511,
3526–29.
