Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 56 / Friday, March 22, 2013 / Notices
requirements apply regardless of
whether or not the Government
conducts a review. In other words, all
contractors are required to be prepared
when and if the Government ultimately
conducts the purchasing system
review.’’ In response, we wish to clarify
the circumstances under which CPSRs
are actually conducted. If a contractor’s
sales to the Government (excluding
competitively awarded firm-fixed-price
and competitively awarded fixed-price
with economic price adjustment
contracts and sales of commercial items
in accordance with FAR part 12) are
expected to exceed $25 million during
the next 12 months, an ACO may
determine that a CPSR is necessary. The
ACO’s determination as to whether a
CPSR is necessary is based on, but not
limited to, the past performance of the
contractor, and the volume, complexity
and dollar value of subcontracts. Once
an initial determination has been made
regarding a CPSR, at least every three
years, the ACO shall determine whether
a CPSR is necessary. If necessary, the
cognizant contract administration office
will conduct the CPSR. Generally, a
CPSR is not performed for a specific
contract, as the respondent appears to
imply. Rather, CPSRs are conducted on
contractors based on the factors
identified above. For example, the
Defense Contract Management Agency
(DCMA) Contractor Purchasing System
Review Group is a group dedicated to
conducting CPSRs for the Department of
Defense. As of April 2012 the group’s
review workload included more than
400 contractors worldwide. The
estimate of 1,580 respondents is
therefore determined to be reasonable.
In addition, the respondent is reminded
that estimated burden hours should
only include projected hours for those
actions which a company would not
undertake in the normal course of
business. The primary purpose of CSPRs
is to evaluate a portion of the normal
course of a contractor’s business, i.e., to
evaluate the contractor’s purchasing
processes to ensure the efficiency and
effectiveness with which the contractor
spends Government funds and complies
with Government policy when
subcontracting. We submit that
fundamental preparation for a review is
part of a contractor’s normal course of
business.
The respondent also took issue with
the estimate of 25 hours per response.
As indicated above, Subject Matter
Experts were consulted in developing
the estimate. Based on their assessment,
the time required for reading and
preparing information was adjusted
upwards from 17 hours (as estimated in
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:27 Mar 21, 2013
Jkt 229001
the currently approved information
collection) to 25 hours per completion,
in order to provide a more accurate
accounting of the contractors’ time
expenditure needed to prepare for a
CPSR and respond to any contracting
officer recommendations related to
withholding or withdrawing of
contractor purchasing system approval
resulting from an CSPR.
C. Annual Reporting Burden
There is no single data collection
process or system, e.g., Federal
Procurement Data System (FPDS), that
identifies the number of CPSRs
conducted governmentwide. However,
for purposes of this clearance, the
estimated Average Burden Per Response
is estimated at 25 hours per completion.
Based on coordination with a
Government agency that conducts
CPSRs, the estimate has been adjusted
upwards from the current 17 hours to 25
hours, in order to provide a more
accurate accounting of the contractors’
time necessary for reading information
and preparing for a CSPR.
Number of Respondents: 1,580.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Total Responses: 1,580.
Average Burden per Response: 25.
Total Burden Hours: 39,500.

Information Collection Request Title:
Out, Proud, and Healthy Fitness Project.
Abstract: The Office of Women’s
Health (OWH) and the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS)
Coordinating Committee on Lesbian,
Gay, Bi-sexual and Transgender (LGBT)
Issues have prioritized the collection of
health data on LGBT populations. In
response, OWH funded an initiative to
identify and test effective and
innovative ways of reducing obesity in
lesbian and bisexual women. The
planned intervention developed in St.
Louis Missouri is called the ‘‘Out,
Proud, and Health Fitness Project’’ has
been developed to address what is
currently known about local LB
women’s community norms, common
barriers to health, patterns of physical
and mental health access, and
preferences for health services and
health outcomes. The interventions will
offer randomized controlled trial
intervention-fitness education classes,
evidence-based personalized exercise
routines, a gym membership, a smart
pedometer to motivate users to increase
physical activity and health education
classes focused on increasing healthy
lifestyle choices. The project is
scheduled for one year.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Addresses barriers to
health for the LB community, and
promotes overall health and wellbeing.
The intervention will incorporate
community-identified weight loss/risk
reduction needs of this population.
Following the completion of the surveys
and interventions, collected data will be
used to develop a ‘‘Toolkit’’ that other
organizations can use to promote
healthy weight in older LB women.
