FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Charles Gray, Procurement Analyst, at 703–795–6328 or email charles.gray@ gsa.gov. A. Purpose Subpart 27.4, Rights in Data and Copyrights is a regulation which concerns the rights of the Government and contractors with whom the Government contracts, regarding the use, reproduction, and disclosure of information developed under such contracts. The delineation of such rights is necessary in order to protect the contractor’s rights to not disclose proprietary data, and to insure that data developed with public funds is available to the public. The information collection burdens and recordkeeping requirements included in this regulation fall into the following four categories: (a) A provision which is to be included in solicitations where the offeror would identify any proprietary data it would use during contract performance, in order that the contracting officer might ascertain if such proprietary data should be delivered. (b) Contract provisions which, in unusual circumstances, would be included in a contract and require a contractor to deliver proprietary data to the Government for use in evaluating work results, or is software to be used in a Government computer. These situations would arise only when the very nature of the contractor’s work is comprised of limited rights data or restricted computer software and if the Government would need to see that data in order to determine the extent of the work. (c) A technical data certification for major systems, which requires the contractor to certify that the data delivered under the contract is complete, accurate and compliant with the requirements of the contract. As this provision is for major systems only, and few civilian agencies have such major systems, only about 30 contracts should require this certification. PO 00000 Frm 00039 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 (d) The Additional Data Requirements clause, which is to be included in all contracts for experimental, developmental, research, or demonstration work (other than basic or applied research to be performed solely by a university or college where the contract amount will be $500,000 or less). The clause requires that the contractor keep all data first produced in the performance of the contract for a period of three years from the final acceptance of all items delivered under the contract. Much of this data will be in the form of deliverables provided to the Government under the contract (final report, drawings, specifications, etc.). Some data, however, will be in the form of computations, preliminary data, records of experiments, etc., and these will be the data that will be required to be kept over and above the deliverables. The purpose of such recordkeeping requirements is to insure that the Government can fully evaluate the research in order to ascertain future activities and to insure that the research was completed and fully reported, as well as to give the public an opportunity to assess the research results and secure any additional information. All data covered by this clause is unlimited rights data paid for by the Government. Paragraph (d) of the Rights in Data— General clause (52.227.14) outlines a procedure whereby a contracting officer can challenge restrictive markings on data delivered. Under civilian agency contracts, limited rights data or restricted computer software is rarely, if ever, delivered to the Government. Therefore, there may rarely be any challenges. Thus, there is no burden on the public. B. Annual Reporting Burden Respondents: 944. Responses per Respondent: 2.43. Annual Responses: 2294. Hours per Response: 1.0. Total Burden Hours: 2294. 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 E:\FR\FM\26AUN1.SGM 26AUN1 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 166 / Friday, August 26, 2016 / Notices technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    Subpart 27.4, Rights in Data and Copyrights is a regulation which 
concerns the rights of the Government and contractors with whom the 
Government contracts, regarding the use, reproduction, and disclosure 
of information developed under such contracts. The delineation of such 
rights is necessary in order to protect the contractor's rights to not 
disclose proprietary data, and to insure that data developed with 
public funds is available to the public.
    The information collection burdens and recordkeeping requirements 
included in this regulation fall into the following four categories:
    (a) A provision which is to be included in solicitations where the 
offeror would identify any proprietary data it would use during 
contract performance, in order that the contracting officer might 
ascertain if such proprietary data should be delivered.
    (b) Contract provisions which, in unusual circumstances, would be 
included in a contract and require a contractor to deliver proprietary 
data to the Government for use in evaluating work results, or is 
software to be used in a Government computer. These situations would 
arise only when the very nature of the contractor's work is comprised 
of limited rights data or restricted computer software and if the 
Government would need to see that data in order to determine the extent 
of the work.
    (c) A technical data certification for major systems, which 
requires the contractor to certify that the data delivered under the 
contract is complete, accurate and compliant with the requirements of 
the contract. As this provision is for major systems only, and few 
civilian agencies have such major systems, only about 30 contracts 
should require this certification.
    (d) The Additional Data Requirements clause, which is to be 
included in all contracts for experimental, developmental, research, or 
demonstration work (other than basic or applied research to be 
performed solely by a university or college where the contract amount 
will be $500,000 or less). The clause requires that the contractor keep 
all data first produced in the performance of the contract for a period 
of three years from the final acceptance of all items delivered under 
the contract. Much of this data will be in the form of deliverables 
provided to the Government under the contract (final report, drawings, 
specifications, etc.). Some data, however, will be in the form of 
computations, preliminary data, records of experiments, etc., and these 
will be the data that will be required to be kept over and above the 
deliverables. The purpose of such recordkeeping requirements is to 
insure that the Government can fully evaluate the research in order to 
ascertain future activities and to insure that the research was 
completed and fully reported, as well as to give the public an 
opportunity to assess the research results and secure any additional 
information. All data covered by this clause is unlimited rights data 
paid for by the Government.
    Paragraph (d) of the Rights in Data--General clause (52.227.14) 
outlines a procedure whereby a contracting officer can challenge 
restrictive markings on data delivered. Under civilian agency 
contracts, limited rights data or restricted computer software is 
rarely, if ever, delivered to the Government. Therefore, there may 
rarely be any challenges. Thus, there is no burden on the public.

    Responses per Respondent: 2.43.
    Annual Responses: 2294.
    Hours per Response: 1.0.
    Total Burden Hours: 2294.

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
