srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 240 / Thursday, December 13, 2012 / Notices
Summary of Collection: Abstract: The
Department of Agriculture (USDA)
agencies and staff offices (except Forest
Service) must comply with the
restrictions set forth in sections 738 and
739 of the Agriculture, Rural
Development, Food and Drug
Administration, and Related Agencies
Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 112–55, as
amended and/or subsequently enacted),
which prevents agencies from doing
business with corporations that (1) have
been convicted, or had an officer or
agent of such corporation acting on
behalf of the corporation convicted, of a
felony criminal violation under any
Federal or State law within the
preceding 24 months, and/or (2) have
any unpaid Federal tax liability that has
been assessed, for which all judicial and
administrative remedies have been
exhausted or have lapsed, and that is
not being paid in a timely manner
pursuant to an agreement with the
authority responsible for collecting the
tax liability; unless the agency has
considered suspension or debarment of
the corporation and made a
determination that suspension or
debarment are not necessary to protect
the interests of the Government.
The Forest Service must comply with
similar restrictions in sections 433 and
434 of the Consolidated Appropriations
Act, 2012 (Pub. L. 112–74, as amended
and/or subsequently enacted). The
Forest Service restrictions on doing
business are almost identical to the
restrictions for other USDA offices and
agencies; the one difference is that the
Forest Service restrictions are concerned
only with felony convictions under
Federal law, rather than both Federal
and State law.
Need and Use of the Information: To
comply with the appropriations
restrictions, the proposed information
collection will require corporate
applicants and awardees for USDA and
Forest Service programs to represent
accurately whether they do or do not
have any qualifying convictions or tax
delinquencies which would prevent
USDA or the Forest Service from
entering into a proposed business
transaction with the corporate
applicant. For non-procurement
programs and transactions, these
representations will be submitted on the
proposed information collection forms
AD–3030, AD 3031, AD–3030–FS and
AD–3031–FS. The categories of nonprocurement transactions covered by
the information collection are: Nonprocurement contracts, grants, loans,
loan guarantees, cooperative
agreements, and some memoranda of
agreement. For procurement
transactions, compliance with the
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:21 Dec 12, 2012
Jkt 229001
appropriations restrictions has been
effected through the issuance of
Agricultural Acquisition Regulation
Advisory Number 104, issued March 29,
2012 and available here: https://
www.dm.usda.gov/procurement/policy/
advisories.htm. Accordingly, the
information collection is not intended
for use with USDA or Forest Service
procurement transactions. This
information collection, deals only with
USDA and Forest Service nonprocurement transactions. For more
specific information about whether a
particular non-procurement program or
transaction is included in this list please
contact the USDA agency or staff office
or Forest Service office responsible for
the program or transaction in question.
The AD–3030 and AD–3030–FS forms
will effectuate compliance with the
appropriations restrictions by requiring
all corporate applicants to represent at
the time of application for a nonprocurement program whether they
have any felony convictions or tax
delinquencies that would prevent USDA
or the Forest Service from doing
business with them. Corporations
include, but are not limited to, any
entity that has filed articles of
incorporation in one of the 50 States,
the District of Columbia, or the various
territories of the United States.
Corporations include both for profit and
non-profit entities. The AD–3031 and
AD–3031–FS require an affirmative
representation that corporate awardees
for non-procurement transactions do not
have any felony convictions or tax
delinquencies. The AD 3030/3030–FS
are required at the time of application
and the AD 3031/3031–FS are required
at the time of award. If the application
and award process are a single step, the
agency or staff office may require both
forms to be filed at the same time.
Collection of this information is
necessary to ensure USDA agencies and
staff offices and Forest Service comply
with the appropriations restrictions
prohibiting the Government from doing
business with corporations with felony
convictions and/or tax delinquencies.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this information collection is
estimated to average 15 minutes per
response.
Frequency of Collection: Other:
Corporations—AD–3030/3030–FS—
each time they apply to participate in a
multitude of USDA non-procurement
programs; Awardees—AD–3031/3031–
FS—each time they receive an award in
USDA non-procurement programs.
Respondents: Corporate applicants
and awardees for USDA nonprocurement programs, including
grants, cooperative agreements, loans,
