Multi-Agency Informational Meeting Concerning Compliance With the Federal Select Agent Program; Public Webcast, 78596-78597 [2016-26927]

Download as PDF 78596 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 216 / Tuesday, November 8, 2016 / Notices requiring re-training every year created a greater burden on contractors. Response: In response to the concerns expressed by these respondents, it is noted that this information collection requirement does not address the burden associated with conducting the initial or subsequent annual privacy training. Rather, it focuses solely on the obligation of Federal contractors’ to maintain documentation showing that the required privacy training was completed by the employee and, upon request, provide completion documentation to the contracting officer. However, since the analysis used in the proposed rule did not encompass contracts involving the acquisition of commercial items, the methodology used to derive the estimated hourly and cost burden described in the proposed rule has been revised in the final rule.
