SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
GSA has mission responsibilities
related to monitoring and enforcing
compliance with Federal civil rights
laws and regulations that apply to
Federal financial assistance programs
administered by GSA. Specifically,
those laws provide that no person on
the ground of race, color, national
origin, disability, sex, or age shall be
excluded from participation in, be
denied the benefits of, or be otherwise
subjected to discrimination under any
program in connection with which
Federal financial assistance is extended
under laws administered in whole, or in
part, by GSA.
These mission responsibilities
generate the requirement to request and
obtain certain data from recipients of
Federal surplus real property
conveyances under the Federal Public
Benefit Conveyance Program for the
purpose of determining compliance,
such as the number of individuals that
speak non-English languages
encountered by the recipient’s
program(s) and how the recipient is
addressing meaningful access for
individuals that are Limited English
Proficient; whether the recipients
provide disability access in compliance
with applicable laws and standards;
whether there has been complaints or
lawsuits filed against the recipient
based on prohibited discrimination;
whether there has been any findings of
discrimination; and whether the
recipient’s facilities are accessible to
qualified individuals with disabilities.

SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
Homeland Security Presidential
Directive (HSPD) 12 ‘‘Policy for a
Common Identification Standard for
Federal Employees and Contractors’’
requires the implementation of a
governmentwide standard for secure
and reliable forms of identification for
Federal employees and contractors.
OMB’s implementing instructions
requires all contract employees
requiring routine access to federally
controlled facilities for greater than six
(6) months to receive a background

06NON1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 215 / Wednesday, November 6, 2024 / Notices
investigation. The minimum
background investigation is Tier 1 and
the Office of Personnel Management
offers a Tier 1C for child care.
However, there is no requirement in
the law or HSPD–12 that requires
childcare employees to be subject to the
Tier 1C since employees of childcare
providers are neither government
employees nor government contractors.
The childcare providers are required to
complete the criminal history
background checks mandated in the
Crime Control Act of 1990, Public Law
101–647, dated November 29, 1990, as
amended by Public Law 102–190, dated
December 5, 1991. These statutes
require that each employee of a
childcare center located in a federal
building or in leased space must
undergo a background check.
According to GSA policy, childcare
workers (as described above) will need
to submit the following:
1. An original signed copy of a Basic
National Agency Check Criminal
History, GSA Form 176; and
2. Two sets of fingerprints on FBI
Fingerprint Cards, for SF–87 and/or
electronic prints from an enrollment
center.
3. Electronically submit the e-qip
(SF85) application for completion of the
Tier 1C.
This is not a request to collect new
information; this is a request to change
the form that is currently being used to
collect this information.

A 60-day notice published in the
Federal Register at 89 FR 59099 on July
22, 2024. One comment was received.
Comment: There have been
suggestions that the child care provider
keep form 176 on file for each
employee—seems redundant—since
HSPD and OPM have these files
requiring the provider is over kill and
really these clearance documents that
the federal government require should
not be in a private company’s file as
many of the questions asked are not
things the private sector employers can
ask for and by having them it can lead
to the suggestion that we have used
these question to dismiss employees or
used to not hire them based on answers
to clearance questions.
Response: There is no requirement to
keep a Form 176 on file for each
employee. However, the childcare
provider must comply with applicable

necessary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. The term ‘‘collection of
information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C.
3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and
includes agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies
to publish a 30-day notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension or
reinstatement of an existing collection
of information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, CMS is
publishing this notice that summarizes
the following proposed collection(s) of
information for public comment:
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of an approved
collection; Title of Information
Collection: Improper Payment PreTesting and Assessment (IPPTA) Data
Request Form; Use: To comply with the
Payment Integrity Information Act of
2019 (PIIA), HHS finalized the IPPTA to
prepare State Exchanges for the
measurement of improper payments of
advance payments of the premium tax
credit (APTC), to test processes and
procedures that support HHS’s review
of determinations of APTC made by
State Exchanges, and to provide a
mechanism for HHS and State
Exchanges to share information that
would aid in developing an efficient
measurement process. The PIIA requires
executive agencies to report on Federal
programs susceptible to significant
improper payments. The APTC program
was identified as a Federal program
susceptible to significant improper
payments. Currently in operation are 19
State Exchanges, which do not use the
Federal platform to perform eligibility
and enrollment determinations. Each
State Exchange was selected to
participate in the IPPTA data collection
