SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
What Information Is GSA Particularly
Interested in?
Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, GSA specifically solicits
comments and information to enable it
to:
(i) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(iv) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses. In
particular, GSA is requesting comments
from very small businesses (those that
employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that GSA
could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses
affected by this collection.

What Information Collection Activity or
ICR Does This Apply to?
Title: USASpending/IT Dashboard
Feedback Mechanisms Information
Collection.
OMB Control Number: 3090–0285.
The USAspending.gov Web site,
which is a re-launch of the
www.fedspending.org Web site,
provides information, as collected from
federal agencies, to the public in
accordance with the Federal Funding
Accountability and Transparency Act of
2006 (Transparency Act).
USAspending.gov is a public-friendly
Web site that provides details regarding
each Federal award, such as: The name
and location of the entity receiving the
award, the amount of the award,
funding agency for the award, etc.
Additionally, the IT dashboard Web
site, which is a part of
USAspending.gov, provides details of
Federal Information Technology (IT)
investments and is based on data
received from agency reports to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). The ability to look at contracts,
grants, loans, Information Technology
investments, and other types of
spending across many agencies, in
greater detail, is a key ingredient to
building public trust in government and
credibility in the professionals who use
these agreements. USAspending.gov
visitors will be provided opportunities
to provide feedback in the spirit of the
President’s open government and
transparency initiative. Examples of
feedback mechanisms are:
(1) A ‘‘Contact Us’’ entry page with an
optional contact e-mail address for those
visitors wishing to identify themselves
on the USAspending.gov web-page,
(2) A ‘‘Contact Us’’ entry page with a
contact e-mail address on the IT
dashboard web-page; and

jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
(3) A Collaborative Work
Environment using wiki web pages, email discussion forum, message archive,
shared file workspace, full text search
capability, etc.
Additional feedback mechanisms may
be placed in the future but additional
details have not yet been defined
regarding them. This information
collection request for a generic
clearance is a replacement of the
emergency ICR approved by OMB. It is
being submitted in order to fulfill the
public feedback aspects of this
important initiative.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average up to 500 hours per
year. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements which have subsequently
changed; train personnel to be able to
respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and
review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
The estimated annual burden request
is summarized here:
Affected entities: Anyone that chooses
to visit USASpending.gov, including the
IT Dashboard Web site.
Estimated total number of potential
responses: 5,000.
Frequency of response: Occasionally.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
500 hours.
Estimated total annual costs: 0.
What is the Next Step in the Process for
This ICR?
GSA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. At that time, GSA will issue
another Federal Register notice
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to
OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you
have any questions about this ICR or the
approval process, please contact the
person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.
