Proposal to approve under OMB delegated authority the extension for three years, with revision, of the following report 1. Report title: Request for Proposal and Request for Price Quotations. Agency form number: RFP and RFPQ. OMB control number: 7100–0180. Frequency: On occasion. Reporters: Vendors of goods and services. Estimated annual reporting hours: RFP: 17,500 hours; RFPQ: 4,400 hours; Subcontractor report: 50 hours. Estimated average hours per response: RFP: 50 hours; RFPQ: 2 hours; Subcontractor report: 20 minutes. Number of respondents: RFP: 350; RFPQ: 2,200; Subcontractor report: 150. General description of report: The RFP and RFPQ are required to obtain a benefit and are authorized by Sections 10(3), 10(4), and 11(1) of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 243, 244, and 248(l)). With regard to the Subcontracting Report, Section 342(c) of Dodd-Frank requires the Federal Reserve to develop and implement standards and procedures to assess the diversity policies and practices in all business and activities of the agency at all levels, including procurement, insurance, and all types of contracts. (12 U.S.C. 5452(c)(1)). ‘‘Such procedure shall include a written statement, in a form and with such content as the Director [of OMWI] shall prescribe . . . that a contractor shall ensure . . . the fair inclusion of women and minorities in the workforce of the contractor and, as applicable, subcontractors.’’ (12 U.S.C. 5452(c)(2)). Proposals from vendors that are not accepted and incorporated into contracts with the Federal Reserve would be protected from Freedom of Information (FOIA) disclosure by 41 U.S.C. 4702, which expressly prohibits FOIA disclosure of these proposals. Moreover, during the solicitation process vendors are permitted to mark information contained in their proposals that is proprietary or confidential with the label RESTRICTED DATA. For information so marked, the Federal Reserve also may determine on a caseby-case basis whether FOIA exemption 4, which applies to ‘‘trade secrets and VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:39 Jul 22, 2015 Jkt 235001 commercial or financial information,’’ would protect information from disclosure pursuant to a FOIA request (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)). Abstract: The Federal Reserve uses the RFP and the RFPQ as appropriate to obtain competitive proposals and contracts from approved vendors of goods and services. This information collection is required to collect data on prices, specifications of goods and services, and qualifications of prospective vendors. Current Actions: In connection with the RFP and RFPQ process, the Federal Reserve proposes to require prime contractors to submit a Subcontracting Report that would collect information about their subcontractors’ commitments toward diversity and inclusion of minority-owned and women-owned vendors in the subcontractor’s activities. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, July 20, 2015. Robert deV. Frierson, Secretary of the Board.

Purpose The policies implemented at FAR 37.115, Uncompensated Overtime, are based on Section 834 of Public Law 101–510 (10 U.S.C. 2331). The policies require insertion of FAR provision 52.237–10, Identification of Uncompensated Overtime, in all solicitations valued above the simplified acquisition threshold, for professional or technical services to be acquired on the basis of the number of hours to be provided. The provision requires that offerors identify uncompensated overtime hours, in excess of 40 hours per week, and the uncompensated overtime rate for direct charge Fair Labor Standards Act-exempt personnel. This permits Government contracting officers to ascertain cost realism of proposed labor rates for professional employees and discourages the use of uncompensated overtime. B.

    The provision requires that offerors identify uncompensated 
overtime hours, in excess of 40 hours per week, and the uncompensated 
overtime rate for direct charge Fair Labor Standards Act-exempt 
personnel. This permits Government contracting officers to ascertain 
cost realism of proposed labor rates for professional employees and 
discourages the use of uncompensated overtime.
