A. Purpose
The FAR requires contracts to be
awarded to only those contractors
determined to be responsible. Instances
where a firm, its principals, or
subcontractors, have been indicted,
convicted, suspended, proposed for
debarment, debarred, or had a contract
terminated for default are critical factors
to be considered by a Government
contracting officer in making a
responsibility determination. FAR
52.209–5 and 52.212–3(h), Certification
Regarding Responsibility Matters, and
FAR 52.209–6, Protecting the
Government’s Interest when
Subcontracting with Contractors
Debarred, Suspended, or Proposed for
Debarment, require the disclosure of
this information.
B. Analysis of Public Comments
One respondent submitted public
comments on the extension of the
previously approved information
collection. The analysis of the public
comments is summarized as follows:
Comment: The respondent
commented that the extension of the
information collection would violate the
fundamental purposes of the Paperwork
Reduction Act because of the burden it
puts on the entity submitting the
information and the agency collecting
the information.
Response: In accordance with the
Paperwork Required Act (PRA),
agencies can request an OMB approval
of an existing information collection.
The PRA requires that agencies use the
Federal Register notice and comment
process, to extend the OMB’s approval,
at least every three years. This
extension, to a previously approved
information collection, pertains to
Debarment, Suspension, and Other
Responsibility Matters, FAR Subpart
9.1, Subpart 9.4, 52.209–5, 52.212–3(h)
and 52.209–6. This information
collection, in compliance with
Executive Order 12549, Debarment and
Suspension, is necessary to determine
the responsibility of prospective
contractors, to ensure that contractors
protect the interests of the Government
when issuing subcontracts under
Government contracts, and ensure
business integrity in contract
performance. Not granting this
extension would consequently eliminate
a key process for assessing contractor
