ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, and
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) regulations, DoD, GSA, and
NASA invite the public to comment on
a revision concerning Prohibition on
Contracting with Entities Using Certain
Telecommunications and Video
Surveillance Services or Equipment.
DoD, GSA, and NASA invite comments
on: whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of Federal
Government acquisitions, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; the accuracy of the
estimate of the burden of the proposed
information collection; ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the information
collection on respondents, including the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology. OMB has approved this
information collection for use through
November 30, 2023. DoD, GSA, and
NASA propose that OMB extend its
approval for use for three additional
years beyond the current expiration
date.
SUMMARY:
DoD, GSA, and NASA will
consider all comments received by
August 29, 2023.
ADDRESSES: DoD, GSA, and NASA
invite interested persons to submit
comments on this collection through
https://www.regulations.gov and follow
the instructions on the site. This website
provides the ability to type short

A. OMB Control Number, Title, and any
Associated Form(s)
9000–0199, Prohibition on
Contracting with Entities Using Certain
Telecommunications and Video
Surveillance Services or Equipment.
B. Need and Uses
DoD, GSA, and NASA are combining
OMB Control Nos. for the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) by FAR
part. This consolidation is expected to
improve industry’s ability to easily and
efficiently identify burdens associated
with a given FAR part. The review of
the information collections by FAR part
allows improved oversight to ensure
there is no redundant or unaccounted
for burden placed on industry. Lastly,
combining information collections in a
given FAR part is also expected to
reduce the administrative burden
associated with processing multiple
information collections.
This justification supports the
revision of OMB Control No. 9000–0199
and combines it with the previously
approved information collections under
OMB Control No(s). 9000–0201, with
the title ‘‘Prohibition on Contracting
with Entities Using Certain
Telecommunications and Video
Surveillance Services or Equipment’’.
Upon approval of this consolidated
information collection, OMB Control
No(s). 9000–0201 will be discontinued.
The burden requirements previously
approved under the discontinued
number(s) will be covered under OMB
Control No. 9000–0199.
This clearance covers the information
that offerors and contractors must
submit to comply with the following
FAR requirements listed in the order in
which offerors and contractors provide
the information:

requested and received emergency
approval from OMB to implement the
updated recordkeeping requirement as
