Specifically, in Form 3700/4A, Contractor Representations and Certifications, the FDIC is proposing elimination of the ‘‘Duplication of Cost’’ representation as unnecessary; removal of the ‘‘Clean Air and Water Certification’’ based on its removal from the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) in response to a recommendation by the Environmental Protection Agency; modification of the ‘‘Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) Concern Certification’’ to reflect the Small Business Administration’s recent announcement that it will discontinue SDB certifications; modification of the ‘‘Equal Opportunity Certification’’ and the ‘‘Certification and Disclosure Regarding Payments to Influence Certain Federal Transactions’’ to mirror related FAR provisions; and substitution of an offeror’s Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number for the previously requested Tax Identification Number (TIN) in the ‘‘Signature’’ section of the form. In Form 3700/12, Integrity and Fitness Representations, the FDIC proposes to insert a sentence in the preamble referencing FDIC regulations on Minimum Standards of Integrity and Fitness For An FDIC Contractor at 12 CFR Part 366; add a ‘‘Retention of Information’’ paragraph in Section III, instructing contractors on the retention period for records; and substitute a contractor’s DUNS number for the previously requested TIN in the ‘‘Signature’’ section of the form. Finally, in Form 3700/44, Leasing Representations and Certifications, the VerDate Nov<24>2008 18:44 May 12, 2009 Jkt 217001 FDIC proposes to clarify and highlight the various certifications currently covered under the general heading ‘‘Environmental Condition’’ by reclassifying them as certifications related to ‘‘Asbestos-Containing Materials,’’ ‘‘Water Quality,’’ ‘‘Indoor Air Quality,’’ and ‘‘Hazardous Substances.’’ Request for Comment Comments are invited on: (a) Whether these collections of information are necessary for the proper performance of the FDIC’s functions, including whether the information has practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the estimate of the burden of the information collection, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the information collection on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

    General Description of Collection: The collection involves the 
submission of information on various forms by contractors who wish to 
do business, have done business, or are currently under contract with 
the FDIC. The information is used to: ensure compliance with 
established contractor ethics regulations (12 CFR Part 366); obtain 
information on a contractor's past performance for proposal evaluation 
purposes; review a potential lessor's fitness and integrity prior to 
entering into a lease transaction; and perform background 
investigations on contractors and contractor personnel.
    Current Action: The FDIC is proposing to modify three of the forms 
in the Acquisition Services Information Requirements collection: 
Contractor Representations and Certifications, Form 3700/4A; Integrity 
and Fitness Representations, Form 3700/12; and Leasing Representations 
and Certifications, Form 3700/44. Specifically, in Form 3700/4A, 
Contractor Representations and Certifications, the FDIC is proposing 
elimination of the ``Duplication of Cost'' representation as 
unnecessary; removal of the ``Clean Air and Water Certification'' based 
on its removal from the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) in 
response to a recommendation by the Environmental Protection Agency; 
modification of the ``Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) Concern 
Certification'' to reflect the Small Business Administration's recent 
announcement that it will discontinue SDB certifications; modification 
of the ``Equal Opportunity Certification'' and the ``Certification and 
Disclosure Regarding Payments to Influence Certain Federal 
Transactions'' to mirror related FAR provisions; and substitution of an 
offeror's Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number for the 
previously requested Tax Identification Number (TIN) in the 
``Signature'' section of the form. In Form 3700/12, Integrity and 
Fitness Representations, the FDIC proposes to insert a sentence in the 
preamble referencing FDIC regulations on Minimum Standards of Integrity 
and Fitness For an FDIC Contractor at 12 CFR Part 366; add a 
``Retention of Information'' paragraph in Section III, instructing 
contractors on the retention period for records; and substitute a 
contractor's DUNS number for the previously requested TIN in the 
``Signature'' section of the form. Finally, in Form 3700/44, Leasing 
Representations and Certifications, the FDIC proposes to clarify and 
highlight the various certifications currently covered under the 
general heading ``Environmental Condition'' by reclassifying them as 
certifications related to ``Asbestos-Containing Materials,'' ``Water 
Quality,'' ``Indoor Air Quality,'' and ``Hazardous Substances.''

Request for Comment

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether these collections of 
information are necessary for the proper performance of the FDIC's 
functions, including whether the information has practical utility; (b) 
the accuracy of the estimate of the burden of the information 
collection, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the 
information collection on respondents, including through the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology. All comments will become a matter of public record.

    Dated at Washington, DC, this 7th day of May, 2009.
