SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Overview of Information Collection
Description of the Information
Collection
1. Type of Information Collection:
Revision/Renewal of a currently
approved collection.
2. Title of the Collection—Federal
Acquisition Regulation Part 4
Requirements.
3. Agency form number, if any:—
None.
Solicitation of Public Comment
Written comments and suggestions
from the public should address one or
more of the following four points:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
B. Purpose
This information collection
requirement, OMB Control No. 9000–
0097, currently titled ‘‘Taxpayer
Identification Number Information,’’ is
proposed to be retitled ‘‘Federal
Acquisition Regulation Part 4
Requirements’’ due to consolidation
with currently approved information
collection requirements OMB Control
No. 9000–0159, System for Award
Management (SAM) Registration; 9000–
0145, Use of Data Universal Numbering
System (DUNS) as Primary Contractor
Identification; and 9000–0179, Service
Contractor Reporting Requirement.
This information collection
requirement pertains to information that
a contractor must submit in response to
a number of requirements from FAR
Part 4, which are as follows:
1. Taxpayer Identification Number
Information. FAR Subpart 4.9, Taxpayer
Identification Number Information, and
the provision at 52.204–3, Taxpayer
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:37 Mar 21, 2019
Jkt 247001
Identification, implement statutory and
regulatory requirements pertaining to
taxpayer identification and reporting.
2. SAM Registration and
Maintenance. FAR Subpart 4.11
prescribes policies and procedures for
requiring contractor registration in the
System for Award Management (SAM)
database to: (1) Increase visibility of
vendor sources (including their
geographical locations) for specific
supplies and services; and (2) establish
a common source of vendor data for the
Government. FAR provision 52.204–7,
System for Award Management,
implements the requirement for offerors
on Federal contracts. The clause
requires prospective contractors to be
registered in the SAM database prior to
award of a contract or agreement, except
in certain limited cases. Offerors are
required to provide certain business
information, including their Taxpayer
Identification Number (TINs) and
Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)
information only once into a common
Governmentwide data source. FAR
clause 52.204–13, System for Award
Management Maintenance, requires
contractors to make sure their SAM data
is kept current, accurate, and complete
throughout contract performance and
final payment; this maintenance is, at a
minimum, to be done through an annual
review and update of the contractor’s
SAM registration. FAR provision
52.212–1 and clause 52.212–4 contains
the equivalent of 52.204–7 and 52.204–
13 respectively, for commercial
acquisitions.
3. Use of Unique Entity Identifier as
Primary Contractor Identification
(formerly known as Data Universal
Numbering System (DUNS)). The DUNS
number is the nine-digit identification
number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet
Information Services to an
establishment. The Government uses the
DUNS number to identify contractors in
reporting to the Federal Procurement
Data System (FPDS). The FPDS provides
a comprehensive mechanism for
assembling, organizing, and presenting
contract placement data for the Federal
Government. Federal agencies report
data on all contracts in excess of $3,500
to FPDS. In 2016, the FAR was amended
to redesignate the terminology for
unique identification of entities
receiving Federal awards; the
proprietary term ‘‘DUNS number’’ was
replaced by the term ‘‘unique entity
identifier.’’ Contracting officers insert
the FAR provision 52.204–6, Unique
Entity Identifier, in solicitations they
expect will result in contracts in excess
of $3,500. This provision requires
offerors to submit their unique entity
identifier, which for now is the DUNS
PO 00000
Frm 00058
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
10827
number, with their offer. If the offeror
does not have a DUNS number, the
provision provides instructions on
obtaining one. Contracting officer also
insert FAR clause 52.204–12, Unique
Entity Identifier Maintenance, in all
solicitations and resulting contracts
containing provision 52.204–6. The
clause requires contractors to maintain
their unique entity identifier with
whatever organization issues such
identifiers, for the life of the contract;
clause also requires contractors to notify
contracting officers of any changes to
the unique entity identifier.
4. Service Contractor Reporting
Requirement. Section 743(a) of Division
C of the Consolidated Appropriations
Act, 2010 (Pub. L. 111–117) requires
executive agencies covered by the
Federal Activities Inventory Reform
(FAIR) Act (Pub. L. 105–270), except
DoD, to submit to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
annually an inventory of activities
performed by service contractors. DoD is
exempt from this reporting requirement
because 10 U.S.C 2462 and 10 U.S.C.
2330a(c) already require DoD to develop
an annual service contract inventory.
This information collection covers the
burden hours related to the requirement
at FAR subpart 4.17, Service Contracts
Inventory, and its associated clauses,
52.204–14 and 52.204–15.

1. Type of Information Collection: Revision/Renewal of a currently
approved collection.
2. Title of the Collection--Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 4
Requirements.
3. Agency form number, if any:--None.
Solicitation of Public Comment
Written comments and suggestions from the public should address one
or more of the following four points:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the

(4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
B. Purpose
This information collection requirement, OMB Control No. 9000-0097,
currently titled ``Taxpayer Identification Number Information,'' is
proposed to be retitled ``Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 4
Requirements'' due to consolidation with currently approved information
collection requirements OMB Control No. 9000-0159, System for Award
Management (SAM) Registration; 9000-0145, Use of Data Universal
Numbering System (DUNS) as Primary Contractor Identification; and 9000-
0179, Service Contractor Reporting Requirement.
This information collection requirement pertains to information
that a contractor must submit in response to a number of requirements
from FAR Part 4, which are as follows:
1. Taxpayer Identification Number Information. FAR Subpart 4.9,
Taxpayer Identification Number Information, and the provision at
52.204-3, Taxpayer Identification, implement statutory and regulatory
requirements pertaining to taxpayer identification and reporting.
2. SAM Registration and Maintenance. FAR Subpart 4.11 prescribes
policies and procedures for requiring contractor registration in the
System for Award Management (SAM) database to: (1) Increase visibility
of vendor sources (including their geographical locations) for specific
supplies and services; and (2) establish a common source of vendor data
for the Government. FAR provision 52.204-7, System for Award
Management, implements the requirement for offerors on Federal
contracts. The clause requires prospective contractors to be registered
in the SAM database prior to award of a contract or agreement, except
in certain limited cases. Offerors are required to provide certain
business information, including their Taxpayer Identification Number
(TINs) and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) information only once into a
common Governmentwide data source. FAR clause 52.204-13, System for
Award Management Maintenance, requires contractors to make sure their
SAM data is kept current, accurate, and complete throughout contract
performance and final payment; this maintenance is, at a minimum, to be
done through an annual review and update of the contractor's SAM
registration. FAR provision 52.212-1 and clause 52.212-4 contains the
equivalent of 52.204-7 and 52.204-13 respectively, for commercial
acquisitions.
3. Use of Unique Entity Identifier as Primary Contractor
Identification (formerly known as Data Universal Numbering System
(DUNS)). The DUNS number is the nine-digit identification number
assigned by Dun and Bradstreet Information Services to an
establishment. The Government uses the DUNS number to identify
contractors in reporting to the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS).
The FPDS provides a comprehensive mechanism for assembling, organizing,
and presenting contract placement data for the Federal Government.
Federal agencies report data on all contracts in excess of $3,500 to
FPDS. In 2016, the FAR was amended to redesignate the terminology for
unique identification of entities receiving Federal awards; the
proprietary term ``DUNS number'' was replaced by the term ``unique
entity identifier.'' Contracting officers insert the FAR provision
52.204-6, Unique Entity Identifier, in solicitations they expect will
result in contracts in excess of $3,500. This provision requires
offerors to submit their unique entity identifier, which for now is the
DUNS number, with their offer. If the offeror does not have a DUNS
number, the provision provides instructions on obtaining one.
Contracting officer also insert FAR clause 52.204-12, Unique Entity
Identifier Maintenance, in all solicitations and resulting contracts
containing provision 52.204-6. The clause requires contractors to
maintain their unique entity identifier with whatever organization
issues such identifiers, for the life of the contract; clause also
requires contractors to notify contracting officers of any changes to
the unique entity identifier.
4. Service Contractor Reporting Requirement. Section 743(a) of
Division C of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (Pub. L. 111-
117) requires executive agencies covered by the Federal Activities
Inventory Reform (FAIR) Act (Pub. L. 105-270), except DoD, to submit to
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) annually an inventory of
activities performed by service contractors. DoD is exempt from this
reporting requirement because 10 U.S.C 2462 and 10 U.S.C. 2330a(c)
already require DoD to develop an annual service contract inventory.
This information collection covers the burden hours related to the
requirement at FAR subpart 4.17, Service Contracts Inventory, and its
associated clauses, 52.204-14 and 52.204-15.
