Delegation of Authorities, 18594 [2013-07139]

Download as PDF 18594 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 59 / Wednesday, March 27, 2013 / Notices 2011, contracts with values over $500,000 were awarded to 25,065 unique vendors. We estimate an average of five responses annually (i.e., the number of proposals received per solicitation issued). The clause at FAR 52.209–9 applies to solicitations where the resultant contract value is expected to exceed $500,000 and to contracts in which the offeror has indicated in paragraph (b) of the provision at 52.209–7 that it has current active Federal contracts and grants with total values greater than $10,000,000. Paragraph (a) of the clause at 52.209–9 requires the contractor to update responsibility information on a semiannual basis, throughout the life of the contract, by posting the information in the CCR. It is estimated that 5,013 respondents (or 20 percent) of the 25,065 contract awardees will indicate an affirmative answer in paragraph (b) of the provision at 52.209–7 and, pursuant to FAR 52.209–9, those contractors will then have to enter FAPIIS-related data into the CCR function in the SAM. Two responses per respondent per year are calculated for those respondents with contracts and grants greater than $10 million, because of the requirement in FAR 52.209–9 for semi-annual updates. Because the FAPIIS information in CCR is maintained on individual vendors, contractors awarded more than one contract will still only have to update the data two times per year regardless of the number of contracts awarded them. We have used an average burden estimate of 100 hours to enter the company’s data into the Web site. This time estimate also includes the average annual recordkeeping time necessary per respondent to maintain the company’s information internally. Most large businesses and some small businesses have established systems to track compliance. At this time, all or most Government contractors have entered relevant company data in the CCR in accordance with another information collection requirement. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Annual Reporting Burden Initial response (52.209–7): Respondents: 25,065.
