Medicare Payment Advisory Commission Nomination Letters, 57177 [E9-26484]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 212 / Wednesday, November 4, 2009 / Notices $58.12 (4 hours per entity) and an average hourly wage of legal staff time of $40.87 (4 hours per entity).12 Thus, cumulatively, estimated labor costs to comply with the Orders will be $79,192 (($58.12 x 800 hours) + ($40.87 x 800 hours)). The actual cost may be lower to the extent clerical personnel handle some of the tasks. Staff anticipates that industry members maintain most, if not all, of the material sought in the orders in the normal course of business because they must disclose the information to customers under existing law. Moreover, to the extent that information sought is not generated in the normal course of business, any associated nonlabor cost should be de minimis. Willard K. Tom, General Counsel. [FR Doc.

ACTION: Notice of request for comments regarding a renewal to an existing OMB clearance. SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the General Services Administration invites the general public and Federal agencies to comment on the renewal of an information collection request for the collection of personal data to authorize and initiate investigation requests for GSA temporary contractors. GSA requires OMB approval for this collection to make determinations on granting unescorted physical access to GSAcontrolled facilities. The approval is critical for GSA to meet the anticipated increase in number of temporary contractors as a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111–5). A request for public comments was published in the Federal Register at 74 FR 22930 on May 15, 2009. 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: December 4, 2009. ADDRESSES: Submit comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to the GSA Desk Officer, OMB, Room 10236, NEOB, Washington, DC 20503, and a copy to the Regulatory Secretariat (MVPR), General Services PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 57177 Administration, 1800 F Street, NW., Room 4041, Washington, DC 20405. Please cite OMB Control No. 3090–0283, Temporary Contractor Information Worksheet. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. William Erwin, Program Manager, HSPD–12 Program Management Office, GSA, 1800 F Street, NW, Washington, DC 20405; or telephone (202) 501–0758. Please cite OMB Control No. 3090–0283, Temporary Contractor Information Worksheet. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Purpose The U.S. Government conducts criminal checks to establish that applicants or incumbents working for the Government under contract may have unescorted access to GSAcontrolled facilities. GSA uses the Temporary Contractor Information Worksheet and the FBI Form FD–258 Fingerprint Card to conduct a FBI National Criminal Information Check (NCIC) for each temporary contractor (working on contract for six (6) months or less and require physical access only) on GSA contracts for American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111–5) efforts to determine whether to grant unescorted access to GSA-controlled facilities. GSA is anticipating a large influx in temporary contractors due to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. GSA received one public comment during the 60-day comment period. In summary, the comment asked whether the information collected from the form could be collected using an existing form or was necessary to collect. GSA responded directly to the submitter by stating that the form: provides notifications and requests an authorizing signature from GSA temporary contractors on American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) that other existing forms do not include; requests only data that is required unlike other existing forms; and collects required GSA location, point of contact information not collected through other existing forms. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Guidance M–05–24 for Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12 authorizes Federal departments and agencies to ensure that temporary contractors have limited/ controlled access to facilities and information systems. GSA Directive CIO P 2181.1 Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 Personal Identity Verification and Credentialing (available at https://www.gsa.gov/ hspd12) states that GSA temporary E:\FR\FM\04NON1.SGM 04NON1
