Abstract: EPA uses contractors to perform services throughout the nation with regard to environmental emergencies involving the release or threatened release of oil, radioactive materials or hazardous chemicals that may potentially affect communities and the surrounding environment. The Agency may request contractors responding to any of these types of incidents to conduct background checks and apply government-established suitability criteria in Title 5 of the CFR (Administrative Personnel), Sections 731.104 (Appointments Subject to Investigation), 732.201 (Sensitivity Level Designations and Investigative Requirements), and 736.102 (Notice to Investigative Sources), when determining whether employees are acceptable to perform on given sites or on specific projects. In addition to emergency response contractors, EPA may require background checks for contractor personnel working in sensitive sites or sensitive projects. The background checks and application of the government’s suitability criteria VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:55 Apr 07, 2015 Jkt 235001 must be completed prior to contract employee performance. The contractor shall maintain records associated with all background checks. Background checks cover citizenship or valid visa status, criminal convictions, weapons offenses, felony convictions, and parties prohibited from receiving federal contracts. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Private Contractors. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a benefit under 5 CFR 731.104, 732.201 and 736.102. Estimated number of respondents: 1,000. Frequency of response: Annual. Total estimated burden: 1,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $190,900 (per year), which includes no annualized capital or operation and maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 450 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This is an adjustment to correct an error made when the current ICR was approved. While the currently approved supporting statement included 1,000 burden hours, this number was incorrectly entered into OMB’s system as 450 hours. The correct hour burden, 1,000 hours, has not changed. Rebecca Moser, Deputy Director, Office of Information Collection.
