Public Comment A 60-day notice was published within the proposed FAR rule (2021–008, Amendments to the FAR Buy American Act Requirements) in the Federal Register at 86 FR 40980, on July 30, 2021. The proposed FAR rule included information collection requirements that were additional to the paperwork burden previously approved under OMB Control Number 9000–0024 as well as a new information collection requirement that would have required clearance under a new OMB Control Number (i.e., ‘‘Domestic Content VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:25 Nov 18, 2022 Jkt 259001 Reporting Requirement’’). However, as explained in the published final FAR rule at 87 FR 12780, on March 7, 2022, the FAR will not be implementing the information collection for domestic content reporting until a future FAR rule but the final rule did proceed with the information collection requirements that are additional to the paperwork burden previously approved under OMB Control Number 9000–0024. As such, the Regulatory Secretariat Division is proceeding with seeking OMB approval of the revised information collection requirements under OMB Control Number 9000–0024 but has withdrawn its request for approval of a new information collection requirement concerning ‘‘Domestic Content Reporting Requirement.’’ No comments to the 60-day notice specifically cited this OMB Control Number but two respondents did comment on the requirement for offerors to identify whether any of their end products/construction material contain critical components. a. One respondent commented that the establishment of a separate representation process can create administrative burden and cost for vendors, as associated compliance mechanisms will be required to assure the accuracy of such separate representations. The respondent did not appear to be aware that the FAR Council acknowledged the additional burden associated with this new representation and sought an increase to the estimated burdens associated through this clearance. Since no feedback was provided on the FAR Council’s proposed calculations for the associated burden, no revisions are being made to the estimates previously provided. b. One respondent commented that contractors are unable to comply with the ‘‘reporting requirements.’’ Since no feedback was provided on the FAR Council’s proposed calculations for the associated burden, no revisions are being made to the estimates previously provided.

D. Public Comment

    A 60-day notice was published within the proposed FAR rule (2021-
008, Amendments to the FAR Buy American Act Requirements) in the 
Federal Register at 86 FR 40980, on July 30, 2021. The proposed FAR 
rule included information collection requirements that were additional 
to the paperwork burden previously approved under OMB Control Number 
9000-0024 as well as a new information collection requirement that 
would have required clearance under a new OMB Control Number (i.e., 
``Domestic Content Reporting Requirement''). However, as explained in 
the published final FAR rule at 87 FR 12780, on March 7, 2022, the FAR 
will not be implementing the information collection for domestic 
content reporting until a future FAR rule but the final rule did 
proceed with the information collection requirements that are 
additional to the paperwork burden previously approved under OMB 
Control Number 9000-0024. As such, the Regulatory Secretariat Division 
is proceeding with seeking OMB approval of the revised information 
collection requirements under OMB Control Number 9000-0024 but has 
withdrawn its request for approval of a new information collection 
requirement concerning ``Domestic Content Reporting Requirement.''
    No comments to the 60-day notice specifically cited this OMB 
Control Number but two respondents did comment on the requirement for 
offerors to identify whether any of their end products/construction 
material contain critical components.
    a. One respondent commented that the establishment of a separate 
representation process can create administrative burden and cost for 
vendors, as associated compliance mechanisms will be required to assure 
the accuracy of such separate representations. The respondent did not 
appear to be aware that the FAR Council acknowledged the additional 
burden associated with this new representation and sought an increase 
to the estimated burdens associated through this clearance. Since no 
feedback was provided on the FAR Council's proposed calculations for 
the associated burden, no revisions are being made to the estimates 
previously provided.
    b. One respondent commented that contractors are unable to comply 
with the ``reporting requirements.'' Since no feedback was provided on 
the FAR Council's proposed calculations for the associated burden, no 
revisions are being made to the estimates previously provided.
