Department of Defense October 10, 2012 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On Wednesday, October 3, 2012 (77 FR 60412), the Department of Defense/Department of the Army (DOA) published a notice announcing its intent to delete a System of Records titled A0351 AMC, Student/Faculty Records: AMC Schools Systems, as the records had been transferred to the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC). After publication of the notice in the Federal Register, the DOA discovered that the records had not yet been transferred to TRADOC. Therefore, the DOA systems of records notice cannot be deleted at this time.

Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Regulatory Secretariat will be submitting to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request to review and approve an extension of a previously approved information collection requirement concerning bid guarantees, performance and payment bonds, and alternative payment protections. Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of functions of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), and 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.
