Respondents: Business or other forprofit; not-for-profit institutions; and State, local or tribal government. Number of Respondents: 500 respondents; 500 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 1.5 hours. Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement. Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 154(i) and 309(j). Total Annual Burden: 750 hours. PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 35187 Total Annual Cost: N/A. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after this 60 day comment period in order to obtain the full three year clearance from them. The Commission is requesting an extension (no change in the reporting requirements). The Commission is reporting a 15 hour burden reduction adjustment which is due to 60 fewer applicants filing a onetime certification which was approved by the OMB in 2006. The FCC Form 175 is used to participate in a competitive bidding (auction), or for a license, authorization, assignment or transfer of control. The applicant shall follow the ownership disclosure requirements in 47 CFR sections 1.2105, 1.2110 and 1.2112 of the Commission’s rules. The Commission needs to use the information collected on the FCC Form 175 to determine whether applicants are legally, technically, and financially qualified to participate in Commission auctions for licenses or permits. In addition, if an applicant applies for status as a particular type of auction participant pursuant to Commission rules, the Commission uses the information to determine whether the applicant is eligible for the status requested. The Commission’s auctions, including the collection of information to determine applicants’ qualifications to participate pursuant to Commission rules and requirements, are designed to limit the competitive bidding to qualified applicants; to deter possible abuse of the bidding and licensing process; and to enhance the use of competitive bidding to assign Commission licenses and permits in furtherance of the public interest.

    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

[[Page 35189]]

``Environmental Condition'' by reclassifying them as certifications 
related to ``Asbestos-Containing Materials,'' ``Water Quality,'' 
``Indoor Air Quality,'' and ``Hazardous Substances.'' The FDIC does not 
anticipate that any of these changes will impact its current burden 
estimates.

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 15th day of July 2009.
