srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
acquisition of commercial items and
services.
Pertinent to this information
collection is the FAR provision at
52.212–3, Offeror Representations and
Certifications-Commercial Items. The
provision is among the representations
and certifications that are available for
completion in the On-line
Representation and Certification
Application (ORCA) function of the
System for Award Management (SAM)
database. Because an offeror only has to
complete representations and
certifications once on an annual basis,
with periodic updates, use of the ORCA
function by prospective contractors
decreases the number of responses per
respondent per year for purposes of this
information collection. ORCA was
developed to eliminate the
administrative burden for contractors of
submitting the same information to
various contracting offices, and to
establish a common source for this
information to procurement offices
across the Government. Prior to ORCA’s
implementation, prospective contractors
were required to submit representations
and certifications in paper form for each
individual contract award. Using the
ORCA function in SAM, a contractor
can enter their representations and
certification information once for use on
all Federal contracts. FAR 4.1201(a)
requires prospective contractors to
complete electronic annual
representations and certifications in
conjunction with required registration
in the Central Contractor Registration
(CCR). These requiremnts are met
through functionality in SAM. The
ORCA function reuses data pulled from
the CCR function and, in many cases,
pre-populates several of the required
representations and certifications with
CCR data. The representations and
certifications are effective until one year
from the date of submission or update
to the ORCA function in SAM.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Because ORCA allows for multiple
uses from one entry, i.e., a contractor
can enter their representations and
certification information once a year
(with any needed updates) for use on all
Federal contracts, the number of
responses per respondent has decreased
from the currently approved number 34
to 4. For purposes of this information
collection, initial entry plus three
updates are estimated as the number of
responses per respondent per year, i.e.,
4 responses per respondent. As of May
2012, there were 162,000 vendors
registered in the ORCA function of
SAM. For purposes of estimation, the
number of vendors registered in the
VerDate Mar<15>2010
19:07 Mar 25, 2013
Jkt 229001
ORCA function of SAM will serve as the
number of respondents. Data entry by
contractors is estimated at 30 minutes
per response. As a result, a downward
adjustment is being made to the
estimated annual reporting burden since
the notice regarding an extension to this
clearance published in the Federal
Register at 75 FR 6668, on February 10,
2010.
Respondents: 162,000.
Responses per Respondent: 4.
Total Responses: 648,000.
Hours per Response: .5.
Total Burden Hours: 324,000.
