SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
A. Purpose
This information collection complies
with Executive Order 13126, Prohibition
on Acquisition of Products Produced by
Forced or Indentured Child Labor,
signed by the President on June 12,
1999. Executive Order 13126 requires
that this prohibition be enforced within
the federal acquisition system by means
of: (1) A provision that requires the
contractor to certify to the contracting
officer that the contractor or, in the case
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:39 Apr 28, 2011
Jkt 223001
of an incorporated contractor, a
responsible official of the contractor has
made a good faith effort to determine
whether forced or indentured child
labor was used to mine, produce, or
manufacture any product furnished
under the contract and that, on the basis
of those efforts, the contractor is
unaware of any such use of child labor;
and (2) A provision that obligates the
contractor to cooperate fully in
providing reasonable access to the
contractor’s records, documents,
persons, or premises if reasonably
requested by authorized officials of the
contracting agency, the Department of
the Treasury, or the Department of
Justice, for the purpose of determining
whether forced or indentured child
labor was used to mine, produce, or
manufacture any product furnished
under the contract.
The information collection
requirements of the Executive Order are
evidenced via the certification
requirements delineated at FAR
22.1505, 52.212–3, 52.222–18, and
52.222–19.
To eliminate some of the
administrative burden on offerors who
must submit the same information to
various contracting offices, the Civilian
Agency Acquisition Council and the
Defense Acquisition Regulations
Council (Councils) decided to amend
the Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR) to require offerors to submit
representations and certifications
electronically via the Business Partner
Network (BPN), unless certain
exceptions apply. Online
Representations and Certifications
Application (ORCA) is the specific
application on the BPN to replace the
paper based Representations and
Certifications (Reps and Certs) process.
The change to the FAR is being
accomplished by FAR Case 2002–024.
The clearance associated with this case
referenced this OMB Control No. 9000–
0155 and reduced the hours of burden
by 35%—attributable to mandated use
of ORCA. This reduction is already
reflected in the figures below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Under the Trade Agreements Act of
1979, unless specifically exempted by
statute or regulation, agencies are
required to evaluate offers over a certain
dollar limitation not to supply an
eligible product without regard to the
restrictions of the Buy American
program. Offerors identify excluded end
products on this certificate.
The contracting officer uses the

which are domestic end products. Items
having components of unknown origin
are considered to have been mined,
produced, or manufactured outside the
United States, a designated country,
Caribbean Basin country or Free Trade
Agreement Country.
