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 extension of OMB Control No. 9000– 0064 and combines it with the previously approved information collection under OMB Control No. 9000–0062, with the new title ‘‘Certain Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 36 Construction Contract Requirements’’. Upon approval of this consolidated information collection, OMB Control No. 9000–0062 will be discontinued. The burden requirements previously approved under the discontinued number will be covered under OMB Control No. 9000–0064. This clearance covers the information that contractors must submit to comply with the following FAR requirements: • FAR 52.236–5, Material and Workmanship. This clause requires contractors to obtain contracting officer approval of the machinery, equipment, material, or articles to be incorporated into the work. The contractor’s request must include: the manufacturer’s name, the model number, and other information concerning the performance, capacity, nature, and rating of the machinery and mechanical and other equipment; and full information concerning the material or articles. When directed by the contracting officer, the contractor must submit samples of the items requiring approval for incorporating into the work. The contracting officer uses this information to determine whether the machinery, equipment, material, or articles meet the standards of quality specified in the contract. A contracting officer may reject work, if the contractor installs machinery, equipment, material, or articles in the work without obtaining the contracting officer’s approval. • FAR 52.236–13, Accident Prevention, Alternate I. This alternate to the basic clause requires contractors to submit a written proposed plan to provide and maintain work environments and procedures that will safeguard the public and Government personnel, property, materials, supplies, and equipment exposed to contractor operations and activities; avoid interruptions of Government operations and delays in project completion dates; and control costs in the performance of this contract. The plan must include an analysis of the significant hazards to life, limb, and property inherent in E:\FR\FM\11MRN1.SGM 11MRN1 17470 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 48 / Monday, March 11, 2024 / Notices contract work performance and a plan for controlling these hazards.

This clause requires contractors to prepare and submit to the contracting officer for approval three copies of a practicable schedule showing the order in which the contractor proposes to perform the work, and the dates on which the contractor contemplates starting and completing the several salient features of the work (including acquiring materials, plant, and equipment). The contracting officer uses this information to monitor progress under a Federal construction contract when other management approaches for ensuring adequate progress are not used. • FAR 52.236–19, Organization and Direction of the Work.

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of records. OGE proposes to revise an existing Governmentwide system of records under the Privacy Act, covering Executive Branch Personnel Public Financial Disclosure Reports and Other Name-Retrieved Ethics Program Records.

Instructions: Comments may be posted on OGE’s website, www.oge.gov. Sensitive personal information, such as account numbers or Social Security numbers, should not be included. Comments generally will not be edited to remove any identifying or contact information before posting. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jennifer Matis at the U.S. Office of Government Ethics; telephone: 202– 482–9216; TTY: 800–877–8339; Email: jmatis@oge.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, this document provides public notice that OGE is proposing to revise the OGE/GOVT–1 Governmentwide system of records to add a routine use to permit OGE to post on its website information regarding individuals who have filed a public SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00099 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 financial disclosure report pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 13103 and individuals who have received a conflict of interest waiver pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 208 (‘‘conflict of interest waivers’’). OGE also plans to update citations to the Ethics in Government Act, update its street address, clarify language in routine use ‘‘n,’’ and fix several typographical errors. A Governmentwide system of records is a system of records where one agency (in this case, OGE) has regulatory authority over records in the custody of multiple agencies and the agency with regulatory authority publishes a system of records notice that applies to all of the records regardless of their custodial location. Through the process described in 5 U.S.C. 13107, members of the public may obtain both public financial disclosure reports and conflict of interest waivers from agencies authorized to release those documents. See 5 U.S.C. 13107, 18 U.S.C. 208(d)(1). Although conflict of interest waivers may already be requested from the waiver recipient’s employing agency using this process, currently the public has no way to know who has received a waiver in order to submit such a request. Therefore, OGE is proposing to add the waiver recipient’s first and last name, government position, the type of report filed or waiver issued, and name of the employing agency to OGE’s website, specifically its Officials’ Individual Disclosures Search Collection (‘‘search collection’’). Although OGE does not and will not release conflict of interest waivers issued by another agency, the posting of this information on the OGE website will make it easier for the waivers to be requested from the waiver recipient’s employing agency and help effectuate the purposes of the statutory transparency provisions. Accordingly, OGE proposes to add a new routine use ‘‘c’’ to this system of records to permit the disclosure. The proposed routine use would also explicitly permit the disclosure of similar information regarding public financial disclosure filers. In order to allow users to select the documents they wish to request, OGE’s search collection currently displays the filer’s first and last name, government position, the type of report available, and name of the employing agency. OGE has the authority to display this information pursuant to current routine use ‘‘a.’’ However, the language of routine use ‘‘a’’ does not make it plain to the public that certain information regarding public financial disclosure filers will be posted on OGE’s website. Therefore, OGE proposes to make that fact clear by E:\FR\FM\11MRN1.SGM 11MRN1

    9000-0064, Certain Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 36 
Construction Contract Requirements.

B. Need and Uses

    DoD, GSA, and NASA are combining OMB Control Nos. by FAR part. This 
consolidation is expected to improve industry's ability to easily and 
efficiently identify burdens associated with a given FAR part. This 
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 extension of OMB Control No. 9000-
0064 and combines it with the previously approved information 
collection under OMB Control No. 9000-0062, with the new title 
``Certain Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 36 Construction Contract 
Requirements''. Upon approval of this consolidated information 
collection, OMB Control No. 9000-0062 will be discontinued. The burden 
requirements previously approved under the discontinued number will be 
covered under OMB Control No. 9000-0064.
    This clearance covers the information that contractors must submit 
to comply with the following FAR requirements:
     FAR 52.236-5, Material and Workmanship. This clause 
requires contractors to obtain contracting officer approval of the 
machinery, equipment, material, or articles to be incorporated into the 
work. The contractor's request must include: the manufacturer's name, 
the model number, and other information concerning the performance, 
capacity, nature, and rating of the machinery and mechanical and other 
equipment; and full information concerning the material or articles. 
When directed by the contracting officer, the contractor must submit 
samples of the items requiring approval for incorporating into the 
work. The contracting officer uses this information to determine 
whether the machinery, equipment, material, or articles meet the 
standards of quality specified in the contract. A contracting officer 
may reject work, if the contractor installs machinery, equipment, 
material, or articles in the work without obtaining the contracting 
officer's approval.
     FAR 52.236-13, Accident Prevention, Alternate I. This 
alternate to the basic clause requires contractors to submit a written 
proposed plan to provide and maintain work environments and procedures 
that will safeguard the public and Government personnel, property, 
materials, supplies, and equipment exposed to contractor operations and 
activities; avoid interruptions of Government operations and delays in 
project completion dates; and control costs in the performance of this 
contract. The plan must include an analysis of the significant hazards 
to life, limb, and property inherent in

contract work performance and a plan for controlling these hazards. The 
contracting officer and technical representatives analyze the Accident 
Prevention Plan to determine if the proposed plan will satisfy the 
safety requirements identified in the contract, to include certain 
provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (per FAR 
36.513(c)) and applicable standards issued by the Secretary of Labor at 
29 CFR part 1926 and 29 CFR part 1910.
     FAR 52.236-15, Schedules for Construction Contracts. This 
clause requires contractors to prepare and submit to the contracting 
officer for approval three copies of a practicable schedule showing the 
order in which the contractor proposes to perform the work, and the 
dates on which the contractor contemplates starting and completing the 
several salient features of the work (including acquiring materials, 
plant, and equipment). The contracting officer uses this information to 
monitor progress under a Federal construction contract when other 
management approaches for ensuring adequate progress are not used.
     FAR 52.236-19, Organization and Direction of the Work. 
This clause requires contractors, under cost-reimbursement construction 
contracts, to submit to the contracting officer a chart showing the 
general executive and administrative organization, the personnel to be 
employed in connection with the work under the contract, and their 
respective duties. The contractor must keep the data furnished current 
by supplementing it as additional information becomes available. The 
contracting officer uses this information to ensure the work is 
performed by qualified personnel at a reasonable cost to the 
Government.
