SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
A. Purpose
[OMB Control No. 3090–0319; Docket No.
2021–0001; Sequence No. 11]
AGENCY:
51889
The CDP Supply Chain Climate
Change Information Request is an
electronic questionnaire designed to
collect information that is widely used
by large private and public sector
organizations to understand, assess, and
mitigate potentially disruptive and
costly supply chain risks, investment
risks, and environmental impacts. The
questionnaire is administered by CDP
E:\FR\FM\17SEN1.SGM
17SEN1
51890
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 178 / Friday, September 17, 2021 / Notices
North America, Inc., a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit organization (‘‘CDP’’). CDP
administers the questionnaire annually
on behalf of over 590 institutional
investors, 200 major corporations, and
several large governmental purchasing
organizations in addition to GSA. CDP’s
most recent annual survey was directed
to over 20,000 companies, with over
9,600 electing to respond.
Under previously approved
information collection requests, GSA
has directed CDP since 2017 to include
several hundred major Federal
contractors annually among its potential
survey respondents. In accordance with
31 U.S. Code § 3512(c)(1)(b), GSA uses
information received from these
companies via CDP to inform and
develop purchasing policies and
contract requirements necessary to
safeguard Federal assets against waste,
loss, and misappropriation resulting
from unmitigated exposure to supply
chain energy market and environmental
risks. GSA also uses the information in
accordance with Executive Orders
13990, 14008, and 14030 to inform
development of policies and programs
to reduce climate risks and greenhouse
gas emissions associated with federal
procurement activities.
For example, GSA has used CDP
information in recent years to perform
critical market research in connection
with multi-billion-dollar strategic
contracting efforts. In one case, GSA
determined that data center facilities
used by potential network infrastructure
providers could be at risk due to
flooding, extreme heat, or lack of
available cooling water sources, placing
Federal client operations at risk. In
another case, GSA used information
from the CDP survey to research
potential contractors’ existing risk
mitigation and greenhouse gas reduction
practices and to design appropriate
contract requirements to ensure that
contractors assess and mitigate these
risks and reduce greenhouse gases
associated with their federal contract
activities. In another case, GSA
determined that energy savings
practices available to potential
information technology service
providers could significantly lower their
overhead costs and that this would
likely reduce contract costs for GSA and
other Federal agencies. GSA uses the
information collected to research
development of similar policies and
programs and to verify contractor
compliance with existing programs.
B. Annual Burden Hours
GSA expects to direct CDP to request
voluntary survey responses from up to
500 large and medium-sized businesses

per year. Estimates of response time per
respondent vary greatly depending on
whether each requested respondent (a)
elects not to respond; (b) responds, but
would have responded to CDP
regardless of GSA’s request (because the
respondent was also requested to
respond to CDP by other customer and/
or investor stakeholders); or (c)
responds to CDP because of GSA’s
request. Analysis of total response time
is thus based on estimates for each of
these categories.
(a) Requested respondents who elect
not to respond. Based on historical CDP
response rates and GSA’s intended
recipients, GSA estimates that 250 out
of 500 annual requested respondents
will be in this category. Hour burden for
this category: 250 non-responses; time
per respondent 0; total time 0.
(b) Respondents who would have
responded to CDP regardless of GSA’s
request. These respondents will
complete some or all of the collection
instrument, but would have done so
regardless of GSA’s request. In addition,
some of these respondents will answer
a small number of additional questions
(requiring a small fraction of their
overall response time to CDP) based on
GSA’s request. In addition, all of these
respondents will need to complete one
additional question in order to direct
CDP to share their responses with GSA.
Based on historical CDP response rates
and GSA’s intended recipients, GSA
estimates that 220 out of 500 annual
requested respondents will be in this
category. Hour burden for this category:
220 responses; average time per
respondent 5 minutes; total burden 18
hours.
(c) Respondents who respond to CDP
because of GSA’s request. These
respondents may need to invest
significant time drafting their responses
and gathering facts, including searching
and compiling existing data sources
such as utility bills, and completing and
reviewing the collection instrument.
Based on historical CDP response rates
and GSA’s intended recipients, GSA
estimates that 30 out of 500 annual
requested respondents will be in this
category. Based on discussions with
several dozen previous respondents to
CDP’s questionnaire, as well as public
input received in response to a related
information collection request notice
(see 82 FR 3794), time burden for this
collection is estimated to average 120
hours per response. Hour burden for
this category: 30 responses; average time
per respondent 120 hours; total burden
3,600 hours.
Based on the individual category
response times above, the total
estimated response burden for all 500

C. Public Comments
Public comments are particularly
invited on: Whether this collection of
information is necessary, 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 technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
