Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 135 / Wednesday, July 15, 2015 / Notices
Order in WT Docket No. 01–309, FCC
03–168, adopted and released in
September 2003, implementing a
mandate under the Hearing Aid
Compatibility Act of 1988, the
Commission required digital wireless
phone manufacturers and service
providers to make certain digital
wireless phones capable of effective use
with hearing aids, label certain phones
they sold with information about their
compatibility with hearing aids, and
report to the Commission (at first every
six months, then on an annual basis) on
the numbers and types of hearing aidcompatible phones they were producing
or offering to the public. These reporting
requirements were subsequently
amended on several occasions, and the
existing, OMB-approved collection
under this OMB control number
includes these modifications.
As part of this extension request, the
Commission is requesting approval of
certain non-substantive changes to the
form and instructions. Changes to the
form include updating the edition form
date for the electronic form to reflect the
current date, and adding certain
additional language drawn from the
instructions to the question on device
disclosures through Public Web sites. In
the instructions, the Commission is
updating the edition form date to reflect
the current date, updating a Web site
link that has become inactive, adding
certain informational text to make the
instructions easier to understand, and
updating figures as necessary to reflect
the non-substantive changes in the form.
Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary.

SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)
clause 52.244–2, Subcontracts, requires
prime contractors to provide contracting
officers notification before the award of
any cost-plus-fixed-fee subcontract, or
certain fixed-price subcontracts. This
requirement for advance notification is
driven by statutory requirements in 10
U.S.C. 2306 and 41 U.S.C. 3905. FAR
clause 52.244–2 also requires prime
contractors to get consent to subcontract
for cost-reimbursement, time-andmaterials, labor-hour, or letter contracts,
and also for unpriced actions under
fixed-price contracts that exceed the
simplified acquisition threshold.
The objective of requiring consent to
subcontract, as discussed in FAR Part
44, is to evaluate the efficiency and
effectiveness with which the contractor
spends Government funds, and
complies with Government policy when
subcontracting. The Government
requires a contractor to provide certain
information (e.g., subcontractor’s name,
type of subcontract, price, description of
supply or services, etc.) reasonably in
advance of placing a subcontract to
E:\FR\FM\15JYN1.SGM

41502
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 135 / Wednesday, July 15, 2015 / Notices
ensure that the proposed subcontract is
appropriate for the risks involved and
consistent with current policy and
sound business judgment. The
information provides the Government a
basis for granting, or withholding
consent to subcontract.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Based on information from the
Federal Procurement Data System
(FPDS) regarding contracts that would
be required to provide information
pursuant to FAR clause 52.244–2, an
upward adjustment is being made to the
number of respondents. As a result, an
upward adjustment is being made to the
estimated annual reporting burden
hours since the notice regarding the
previous extension to this clearance was
published in the Federal Register at 77
FR 56644, on September 13, 2012.
Number of Respondents: 6,601.
Responses per Respondent: 3.
Total Responses: 19,803.
Average Burden Hours per Response:
1.846.
Total Burden Hours: 36,557.
C. Public Comments
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
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; 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.
