SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
As implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart
23.10, Executive Order 13514, Federal Leadership in Environmental,
Energy, and Economic Performance, signed on October 5, 2009 (74 FR
52117, October 8, 2009) and Executive Order 13423, Strengthening
Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management, signed on
January 24, 2007 (72 FR 3919, January 26, 2007), mandates compliance
with right-to-know laws and pollution prevention requirements;
implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMSs); and
completion of Facility Compliance Audits (FCAs).
This information collection will be accomplished by means of FAR
clause 52.223-5. This clause requires that Federal facilities comply
with the planning and reporting requirements of the Pollution
Prevention Act (PPA) of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 13101-13109) and the Emergency
Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986 (42 U.S.C.
11001-11050). Additionally, this clause requires contractors to provide
information necessary so that agencies can implement EMSs and complete
FCAs at certain Federal facilities.
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.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
The estimated annual reporting burden is slightly decreased since
it was originally published in the Federal Register at 74 FR 48745, on
September 24, 2009. The adjustment is made based on current data and
consultation with Federal Government subject matter experts familiar
with the requirements under this information collection.
Number of Respondents: 5,401.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Total Annual Responses: 5,401.
Hours per Response: 3.7493.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 20,250.
