All comments received will be posted without change to https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal and/or business confidential information provided. Mr. Michael O.

Purpose The objective of this information collection, for the examination of records by Comptroller General and contract audit, is to require contractors to maintain certain records and to ensure the Comptroller General and/or agency have access to, and the right to, examine and audit records, which includes: books, documents, accounting procedures and practices, and other data, regardless of type and regardless of whether such items are in written form, in the form of computer data, or in any other form, for a period of three years after final payment. This information is necessary for examination and audit of contract surveillance, verification of contract pricing, and to provide reimbursement of contractor costs, where applicable. The records retention period is required by the statutory authorities at 10 U.S.C. 2313, 41 U.S.C. 254, and 10 U.S.C. 2306, and are implemented through the following clauses: Audit and Records— Negotiation clause, 52.215–2; Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders—Commercial Items clause, 52.212–5; and Audit and Records— Sealed Bidding clause, 52.214–26. This information collection does not require contractor’s to create or maintain any records that the contractor does not normally maintain in its usual course of business. tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Public Comments Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of functions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (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 and ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected. VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:53 Jul 12, 2013 Jkt 229001 B. Annual Reporting Burden For this information collection requirement data from Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 was retrieved from the Federal Procurement Data System—Next Generation (FPDS–NG). The parameters for this information collection were based on the prescription from each of the applicable clauses. Resulting from a thorough review of each clause prescription, it was determined that the type of contracts associated with this information collection are: Negotiated awards over the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT) using commercial procedures; Negotiated awards over the SAT using other than commercial procedures; and, Sealed bid awards over $700,000. For negotiated awards over the SAT using commercial procedures, FPDS–NG shows 18,709 contracts (7,797 of those were awarded to unique vendors). For negotiated awards over the SAT using other than commercial procedures, FPDS–NG shows 14,085 contracts (6,731 of those were awarded to unique vendors). For sealed bid awards over $700,000, FPDS–NG shows 1,602 contracts (809 of those were awarded to unique vendors). This equates to a total of 34,396 total actions and a total of 15,337 unique vendors after you drill down the 34,396 actions looking only for the unique Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number. The 15,337 actions will be used as the number of estimated respondents per year. It is estimated that number of responses per respondent is ten. This is derived by dividing the number of contract actions by the number of unique vendors (2.2 contracts), plus an average of three subcontracts per contract (considering the applicable clauses flows down to subcontractors). It is further estimated that the time required to read and prepare a response is 60 minutes. Respondents: 15,337. Responses per Respondent: 10. Total number of responses: 153,370. Hours per Response: 1.0. Total Burden Hours: 153,370. The 153,370 burden hours represent a significant increase over the 63,934 hours that was published in the information collection notice in the Federal Register at 75 FR 10268 on March 5, 2010, due to the increase in the estimated hours per response, by fifty minutes, from ten minutes to 1 hour.

Background and Brief Description Young breast cancer survivors (YBCS, defined as women diagnosed with breast cancer under 45 years old) may have a more difficult time coping with breast cancer treatment and aftercare when compared to older breast cancer survivors. For example, breast cancer can be more serious, treatment is often multimodal and more toxic, and side effects can be more severe for YBCS than for older women.

    Institutional Awareness and Commitment to Ensuring Safe, Stable,

Prevention Child Maltreatment--New--

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments set children 
on a positive trajectory for optimal child development and health, 
provide a buffer against the effects of adverse child experiences, are 
fundamental to healthy brain development and have a positive impact on 
a broad range of health problems across the life course. Promoting 
safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments may also reduce 
child maltreatment which is a significant public health problem 
affecting physical and emotional health throughout the lifespan.
    NCIPC is funding five state health departments in Fiscal Year 2012 
to coordinate and manage existing and new partnerships with other 
sectors to promote safe, stable, nurturing relationships and 
environments for children; and work with partners to identify 
strategies across sectors that promote safe, stable, nurturing 
relationships and environments. CDC requests OMB approval for two years 
to collect information that will establish the baseline level of state 
health departments' and partners' awareness and commitment to ensuring 
safe, stable, and nurturing relationships and environments for children 
and preventing child maltreatment.
    This information will be collected from staff at health departments 
soon after receiving their award and from their partners at the start 
of each new partnership. Respondents will be 3 staff members from 5 
health departments receiving funding and 3 staff members at 
approximately 11 organizations or agencies the health departments 
choose to partner with. Information will be collected once using 
SurveyMonkey[supreg], an electronic web-based interface which is a 
secure Web site that meets the Safe Harbor and European Union data 
protection requirements. This ICR will only collect data pertaining to 
organizations. No individual identifiable information will be 
requested.
    Each grantee will receive a personalized advance notification 
letter, followed by an email with a link to the SurveyMonkey[supreg] 
site. In turn, the grantee will send a personalized advance 
notification letter, followed by an email with a link to the 
SurveyMonkey[supreg] site to each new partner throughout the funding 
period.
    The goal of the data collection is to assess awardee awareness and 
commitment so that CDC may establish state health departments' and 
partners' level of commitment at the start of the funding. This 
information will be compared to post-funding awareness and commitment 
data which, along with other data sources (i.e., changes in public 
awareness and commitment, and changes in policies and programs), will 
allow CDC to establish the success of this funding announcement.
    Given five health departments with 10 partner organizations each 
and 3 staff at each organization responding, the total number of 
respondents for this project is 165 (83 respondents per year). Total 
project burden over the two years of data collection is 78 hours (39 
hours per year).
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
