Purpose As prescribed in FAR 7.305(c), the clause at FAR 52.207–3, Right of First Refusal of Employment, deals with adversely affected or separated Government employees resulting from the conversion of work from in-house performance to performance by contract. PO 00000 Frm 00056 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The clause requires the contractor to give these employees an opportunity to work for the contractor who is awarded the contract. The information gathered will be used by the Government to gain knowledge of which employees, adversely affected or separated as a result of the contract award, have gained employment with the contractor within 90 days after contract performance begins. B. Annual Reporting Burden The total annual burden has increased from 912 hours to 30,327 hours. This is based on an analysis of the Federal Procurement Data System—Next Generation (FPDS–NG) which shows that for Fiscal Years 2011 and 2012 there were 9,198 and 11,020, respectively, new A–76 awards. An average of the number of the A–76 awards for these two years equates to 10,109. Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of functions of the FAR, and whether it will have practical utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection of information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways in which we can minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Purpose To protect the Government’s interest and to ensure timely delivery of items of the requisite quality, contracting officers, prior to award, must make an affirmative determination that the prospective contractor is responsible, i.e., capable of performing the contract. Before making such a determination, the contracting officer must have in his possession or must obtain information sufficient to satisfy himself that the prospective contractor: (i) Has adequate financial resources, or the ability to obtain such resources; (ii) is able to comply with required delivery schedule; (iii) has a satisfactory record of performance; (iv) has a satisfactory record of integrity; and (v) is otherwise qualified and eligible to receive an award under appropriate laws and regulations. If such information is not in the contracting officer’s possession, it is obtained through a preaward survey conducted by the contract administration office responsible for the plant and/or the geographic area in which the plant is located. The necessary data is collected by contract administration personnel from available data or through plant visits, phone calls, and correspondence. This data is entered on Standard Forms 1403, 1404, 1405, 1406, 1407, and 1408 in detail commensurate with the dollar value and complexity of the procurement. These standard forms are not cumulative. The surveying activity completes only the applicable standard form(s) necessary to determine contractor responsibility in each case. 38341 required in limited circumstances where information for the prospective contractor cannot be obtained by the contracting officer to make an affirmative statement of responsibility. Further, if the contemplated contract will have a fixed price at or below the $150,000 simplified acquisition threshold (SAT) or will involve the acquisition of commercial items (see Part 12); the contracting officer should not request a preaward survey unless circumstances justify its cost. Using parameters identified above a Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) ad hoc report was completed identifying that in Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 an estimated total of 11,805 contracts were awarded Governmentwide that were over the SAT, and for which commercial acquisition procedures were not used. Of that number, it is estimated that preaward surveys were completed for 30 percent, or 3,540 of the 11,805 contracts that were awarded. Of the six Standard Forms (1403, 1404, 1405, 1406, 1407, and 1408), we estimated that Standard Form 1403 is used most frequently because it is a general form and accounts for 30 percent or 1,062 times, Standard Forms 1404 and 1407 account for 15 percent or 531 times, Standard Form 1408 accounts for 20 percent or 708 times, and Standard Forms 1405 and 1406 account 10 percent or 354 times. Additionally, there is no Governmentwide data collection process or system which identifies the actual number of hours necessary to prepare and complete Standard Forms. To date, no public comments or questions have been received regarding the estimated burden hours per response included in prior approved clearances. After consultation with subject matter experts, it was determined that the time required to prepare and complete the Standard Forms is estimated at 24 hours per response. Because preaward survey data is generally used for multiple contracts awarded within a 12 month period, it is estimated that only one (1) response would be reported annually per respondent per form. B. Annual Reporting Burden Standard Form 1403—Preaward Survey of Prospective Contractor (General) Respondents: 1,062. Responses annually: 1. Total Responses: 1,062. Hours per Response: 24. Total Burden Hours: 25,488. There are no Governmentwide systems for collecting the number of preaward surveys completed in a fiscal year as preaward surveys are only Standard Form 1404—Preaward Survey of Prospective Contractor Technical Respondents: 531. Responses annually: 1. PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\26JNN1.SGM 26JNN1
