B. Annual Reporting Burden
The total annual burden associated
with the reporting requirements of FAR
52.204–10 is estimated to be
$33,230,972.
1. Reporting first-tier subcontract
award information. The FY13 Federal
Procurement Data System (FPDS) data
collected for new contract actions
valued at $25,000 or greater, indicated
that there were 155,292 contractors with
unique DUNS numbers. It is estimated
that based on the exemptions in the rule
(e.g., contractors in the previous tax year
with less than $300,000 in gross income
do not have to report), seventy-five
percent of the contractors with actions
valued at $25,000 or greater would be
subject to the reporting requirements,
which would be 116,469 contractors.
The burden to report the subcontractor
award information (e.g., name, amount,
address, etc.) under FAR 52.204–10 is
estimated to average 2 hours per
response for a prime contractor and
approximately three first-tier
subcontractors per prime contractor. We
estimate the total annual public cost
burden for these elements to be
$30,747,816 based on the following:
Respondents: 116,469.
Responses per respondent: 3.
Total annual responses: 349,407.
Preparation hours per response: 2.
Total response burden hours: 698,814.
Average hourly wages ($33.00 +
36.25% overhead. Rounded to nearest
dollar): $45.00.
Estimated cost to the public:
$30,747,816.
2. Reporting executive compensation.
There were 367,875 active registrants in
SAM as of September 17, 2014. Of the
367,875 total active registrants, 360,000
were screened out by two questions
supporting the rule’s requirements, i.e.,
didn’t have 80% or more of their annual
gross revenue in U.S. Federal contracts,
grants, and/or cooperative agreements
and didn’t make more than $25 million
in annual gross revenue, or did have
80% or $25 million from Federal
contracts/grants/cooperative
agreements, but the public already had
access to the information. It is estimated
that it would require those 360,000
registrants 0.10 hours per response, for
a total of 36,000 response hours.
A total of 7,875 SAM registrants
would be required to enter actual values
for their top five most highly
compensated executives. It is estimated
that it would require these 7,875

Jkt 235001
registrants 2.5 hours to provide the
information required, for a total of
19,688 response hours.
Therefore, it is estimated that the total
population of respondents is 367,875,
and the total estimated response hours
is 55,688, resulting in a weighted
average of 0.15 hours per respondent for
executive compensation reporting.
The Councils estimate the total
annual public cost burden for this
element to be $2,483,156 based on the
following:
Respondents: 367,875.
Responses per respondent: 1.
Total annual responses: 367,875.
Preparation hours per response: 0.15.
Total response burden hours: 55,181.
Average hourly wages: ($33.06 +
36.25% overhead. Rounded to nearest
dollar): $45.00.
Estimated cost to the public:
$2,483,156.
Based on the above calculations, DoD,
GSA, and NASA estimate the total
annual burden associated with reporting
requirements of FAR 52.204–10 to be
$33,230,972. The reporting burden
includes the time for reviewing
instructions, and reporting the data. It
does not cover the time required to
conduct research or the time to obtain
the information for the data elements.
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.

Generic Clearance for the Collection
of Qualitative Feedback on Agency
Service Delivery (OMB No. 0920–0919,
expires 01/31/2015)—Revision—
National Center on Birth Defects and
Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
As part of a Federal Government-wide
effort to streamline the process to seek
feedback from the public on service
delivery, the CDC has submitted a
Generic Information Collection Request
(Generic ICR): ‘‘Generic Clearance for
the Collection of Qualitative Feedback
on Agency Service Delivery ’’ to OMB
for approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et.
seq.).
To request additional information,
please contact LeRoy A. Richardson,
Reports Clearance Officer, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, 1600
Clifton Road, MS–D74, Atlanta, GA
30333 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov.
Supplementary Information:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Abstract: The information collection
activity will garner qualitative customer
and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback we mean
information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data
that can be generalized to the overall
population. This type of generic
clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: The
target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
This is a revision to a previously
approved collection of information.
Respondents will be screened and
selected from Individuals and
Households, Businesses Organizations,
and/or State, Local or Tribal
Government. A total of 12 individual
data collections were approved under
our originally approved generic
information collection (OMB # 0920–
0919, expiration 01/31/2015). Data
collection activities were equally
divided between focus groups and
online surveys and were conducted to
test and refine NCBDDD messages and
materials regarding alcohol use during
pregnancy, autism spectrum disorder,
folic acid, Deep Vein Thrombosis/
Pulmonary Embolism (DVT/PE), and
preconception health. A customer
service survey was also conducted using
this mechanism.
We expect to conduct 12 individual
data collections (four each year) over the
next three years in order to continue
testing and refining our public health
messages aimed at targeted groups by
using a variety of instruments and
platforms. Based on the number of
burden hours actually used during the
initial approval period and the number
of respondents involved, we request a
reduction in the number of respondents
and burden hours.
Below we provide CDC’s projected
annualized estimate for the next three
years. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time. The estimated
annualized burden hours for this data
collection activity are 3,625.
