Jkt 232001 United States laws impose duties on foreign supplies imported into the customs territory of the United States. Certain exemptions from these duties are available to Government agencies. These exemptions are used whenever the anticipated savings outweigh the administrative costs associated with processing required documentation. When a Government contractor purchases foreign supplies, it must notify the contracting officer to determine whether the supplies should be duty-free. In addition, all shipping documents and containers must specify certain information to assure the dutyfree entry of the supplies. The clause at FAR 52.225–8, DutyFree Entry, is included in solicitations and contracts for supplies that may be imported into the United States and for which duty-free entry may be obtained in accordance with FAR 25.903(a), if the value of the acquisition (1) exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold; or (2) does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, but the savings from waiving the duty is anticipated to be more than the administrative cost of waiving the duty. The contracting officer analyzes the information submitted by the contractor to determine whether or not supplies should enter the country duty-free. The information, the contracting officer’s determination, and the U.S. Customs forms are placed in the contract file. B. Annual Reporting Burden Respondents: 1,330. Responses per Respondent: 10. Total Responses: 13,300. Hours per Response: .5. Total Burden Hours: 6,650. C.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    The Helium Act (Pub. L. 86-777) (50 U.S.C. 167a, et seq.) and the 
Department of the Interior's implementing regulations (30 CFR parts 601 
and 602) require Federal agencies to procure all major helium 
requirements from the Bureau of Land Management, Department of the 
Interior.
    FAR 8.5, Acquisition of Helium, and the clause 52.208-8 Required 
Sources for Helium and Helium Usage Data, requires that the Contractor 
provide to the Contracting Officer the following data within 10 days 
after the Contractor or subcontractor receives a delivery of helium 
from a Federal helium supplier; (i) The name of the supplier; (ii) The 
amount of helium purchased; (iii) The delivery date(s); and (iv) the 
location where the helium was used. Such information will facilitate 
enforcement of the requirements of the Helium Act and the contractual 
provisions requiring the use of Government helium by agency 
contractors.
    The information is used in administration of certain Federal 
contracts to ensure contractor compliance with contract clauses. 
Without the information, the required use of Government helium cannot 
be monitored and enforced effectively.
    The FAR requires that the contractor provide helium purchase 
information 10 days after delivery from a federal helium supplier, not 
for the contractor to forecast what they are going to purchase. In 
consultation with subject matter experts at the Department of the 
Interior, Bureau of Land Management, Helium Operations, the number of 
responses per year was verified as being within an acceptable range, as 
was the average time required to read and prepare information which was 
estimated at 1 hour per response. No changes to the FAR are necessary.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 26.
    Responses Per Respondent: 1.
    Total Responses: 26.
    Hours per Response: 1.
    Total Burden Hours: 26.

C. Public Comments

    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.
    Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the 
information collection documents from the General Services 
Administration, Regulatory Secretariat Division (MVCB), 1800 F Street 
NW., Washington, DC 20405, telephone 202-501-4755. Please cite OMB 
Control No. 9000-0113, Acquisition of Helium, in all correspondence.
