Central Contractor Registration, in all
correspondence.
A. Purpose
The Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR) Subpart 4.11 prescribes policies
and procedures for requiring contractor
registration in the Central Contractor
Registration (CCR) database. The CCR is
the primary vendor database for the U.S.
Federal Government. CCR collects,
validates, stores, and disseminates data
in support of agency acquisition
missions.
Both current and potential Federal
Government vendors are required to
register in CCR in order to be awarded
contracts by the Federal Government.
Vendors are required to complete a onetime registration to provide basic
information relevant to procurement
and financial transactions. Vendors
must update or renew their registration
at least once per year to maintain an
active status.
The CCR validates the vendor
information and electronically share the
secure and encrypted data with Federal
agency finance offices to facilitate
paperless payments through electronic
funds transfer. Additionally, CCR shares
the data with Federal Government
procurement and electronic business
systems.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
FAR 22.501 prescribes policies and
procedures to implement Executive
Order 13502, February 6, 2009 which
encourages Federal agencies to consider
the use of a project labor agreement
(PLA), as they may decide appropriate,
on large-scale construction projects,
where the total cost to the Government
is more than $25 million, in order to
promote economy and efficiency in
Federal procurement. A PLA is a prehire collective bargaining agreement
with one or more labor organizations
that establishes the terms and
conditions of employment for a specific
construction project. FAR 22.503(b)
provides that an agency may, if
appropriate, require that every
contractor and subcontractor engaged in
construction on the project agree, for
that project, to negotiate or become a
party to a project labor agreement with
one or more labor organizations if the
agency decides that the use of project
labor agreements will—
(1) Advance the Federal Government’s
interest in achieving economy and
efficiency in Federal procurement,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
The FAR clause at 52.236–13,
Accident Prevention, requires Federal
construction contractors to keep records
of accidents incident to work performed
under the contract that result in death,
traumatic injury, occupational disease
or damage to property, materials,
supplies or equipment. Records of
personal inquiries are required by the
Department of Labor’s (DOL)
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration regulations (OSHA). The
records maintained by the contractor are
used to evaluate compliance and may be
used in workmen’s compensation cases.
The Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR) requires records of damage to
property, materials, supplies or
equipment to provide background
information when claims are brought
against the Government.
If the contract involves work of a long
duration, or hazardous nature, the
contracting officer shall insert the clause
with its alternate that requires the
contractor to submit a written proposed
plan for implementing the clause. The
plan shall include an analysis of the
significant hazards to life, limb, and
property inherent in performing the
contract and a plan for controlling the
hazards. The Accident Prevention Plan
(APP) is analyzed by the contracting
officer along with the agency safety
representatives to determine if the
proposed plan will meet the
requirements of safety regulations and
applicable statutes.

have practical utility; whether our
estimate of the public burden of this
