SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
Part 28 of the FAR contains guidance
related to obtaining financial protection
against damages under Government
contracts (e.g., use of bonds, bid
guarantees, insurance etc.). Part 52
contains the texts of solicitation
provisions and contract clauses. These
regulations implement a statutory
requirement for information to be
provided by Federal contractors relating
to payment bonds furnished under
construction contracts which are subject
to the Miller Act (40 U.S.C. 270a–270d).
This collection requirement is mandated
by Section 806 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1992
and 1993 (Pub. L. 102–190), as amended
by Section 2091 of the Federal
Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994
(Pub. L. 103–335). The clause at 52.228–
12, Prospective Subcontractor Requests
for Bonds, implements Section 806(a)(3)
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:43 Oct 08, 2010
Jkt 223001
of Public Law 102–190, as amended,
which specifies that, upon the request of
a prospective subcontractor or supplier
offering to furnish labor or material for
the performance of a construction
contract for which a payment bond has
been furnished to the United States
pursuant to the Miller Act, the
contractor shall promptly provide a
copy of such payment bond to the
requestor.
In conjunction with performance
bonds, payment bonds are used in
Government construction contracts to
secure fulfillment of the contractor’s
obligations under the contract and to
assure that the contractor makes all
payments, as required by law, to
persons furnishing labor or material in
performance of the contract. This
regulation provides prospective
subcontractors and suppliers a copy of
the payment bond furnished by the
contractor to the Government for the
performance of a Federal construction
contract subject to the Miller Act. It is
expected that prospective
subcontractors and suppliers will use
this information to determine whether
to contract with that particular prime
contractor. This information has been
and will continue to be available from
the Government. The requirement for
contractors to provide a copy of the
payment bond upon request to any
prospective subcontractor or supplier
under the Federal construction contract
is contained in Section 806(a)(3) of
Public Law 102–190, as amended by
Sections 2091 and 8105 of Public Law
103–355.
One comment was received. The
commenter expressed support for
extending this information collection.
The commenter had some concern
because subcontractors are not receiving
payment bonds from the prime
contractor upon request. The Miller Act
allows subcontractors to request a copy
of the payment bond from the prime
contractor. In addition, FAR 28.106–6(d)
requires the contracting officer to
provide a copy of the payment bond to
subcontractors upon request. The
commenter recommended that the
Government consider creating an online
system for prospective subcontractors
and suppliers to view and print copies
of the payment bond. At this time, the
online system is deemed unnecessary
because there are other alternatives
currently in place to receive this
information. As stated earlier, the FAR
currently requires the contracting officer
to provide to the subcontractor a copy
of the payment bond upon request as
stated in FAR 28.106(d). The
Government is unaware of problems
resulting from this option.

Proposed Project: An Assessment of
the Sustainability and Impact of
Community Coalitions Once Federal
Funding Has Expired—OMB No. 0990–
NEW—Assistant Secretary Planning
Evaluation (ASPE).
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation
(ASPE) is requesting Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval on a new collection to conduct
a survey of community coalitions
formerly funded by the Community
Access Program (CAP)/Healthy
Communities Access Program (HCAP) to
learn about their sustainability and
impact post-federal funding. ASPE will
use the CAP/HCAP experience to
examine the long-term sustainability of
coalitions that successfully completed
for grant funding from the Department
of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
As part of the study, a one-time, selfadministered survey will be
administered to the 260 coalitions
funded through CAP/HCAP, providing a
unique set of data to assess coalition
sustainability and the factors that enable
and hinder sustainability. The survey
will focus on CAP/HCAP coalitions’
structure, funding, activities, impact,
and outcomes post-funding. The survey
design and content is informed by a
review of the literature on community
coalitions including coalition
organization, functions, impact, and
sustainability. Results from the survey
will also inform the selection of sites for
key informant interviews and site visits.
Specifically, telephone interviews will
occur with a subset of 20 CAP/HCAP
coalitions that have been sustained as
well as 20 CAP/HCAP coalitions that
have not been sustained. The key
informant interviews will utilize a
structured instrument tailored to the
coalitions’ experiences. Site visits will
be conducted with seven coalitions that
were sustained post-funding. Data
collection activities will be completed
within 18 months of OMB Clearance.

Proposed Project: Prevention and
Wellness-Leveraging National
Organizations—OMB No. 0990–NewOffice of Public Health and Science
(OPHS).
Abstract: The Office of Public Health
and Science is requesting an approval
by OMB on a new collection. The
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act (ARRA) Prevention and WellnessLeveraging National Organizations is a
cooperative agreement program
authorized under 42 U.S.C. 300k-1, 300,
section 1701 of the Public Health
Service Act, as amended. The funding
opportunity focuses on two categories of
activities:
• Category A: Obesity prevention
through improved nutrition and
increased physical activity

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
• Category B: Tobacco prevention and
control
The National Organizations who
receive funding will be supporting
Communities Putting Prevention to
Work (CPPW)-funded communities by
providing expertise and technical
assistance to help implement select
MAPPS (Media, Access, Point of
Purchase/Promotion, Pricing, and Social
Support and Services) strategies through
national organizations’ systems and
networks. The National Organizations
will work to sustain community
prevention efforts beyond Recovery Act
CPPW funding and support the National
Prevention Media Initiative through cobranding and augmenting HHSdeveloped media campaigns in
communities.
The outcome measures that will be
collected from funded National
Organizations include approval/
enactment of MAPPS-related policy,
systems, and environmental change in
physical activity, nutrition, and tobacco
in funded communities. Since a critical
component of the National
Organizations is to support and assist
CPPW-funded communities with their
expert resources, the National
Organizations and the CPPW-funded
communities will share ownership of
the same outcome measures. Because
the National Organizations and their
local affiliates have a distinct
supporting role in these community-
