SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
The Privacy Act of 1974, (5 U.S.C. 552a) prescribes fair
information
[[Page 68249]]
practices for how Federal agencies collect, maintain, use, and
disseminate personal information. Consistent with provisions of the
Privacy Act of 1974, contractors that design, develop, maintain, or
operate a system of records on individuals; require access to a system
of records; or handle personally identifiable information, are required
to be properly trained on the compliance requirements, applicable laws,
and appropriate safeguards for the security and confidentiality of
personally identifiable information. The training documentation shall
be maintained by contractors and provided to the Government upon
request. It is anticipated that the Government would request
documentation only rarely.
B. Analysis of Public Comments
Two respondents submitted public comments on the estimated annual
burden. Analysis of the public comments for the proposed rule on areas
other than the estimated annual burden will be addressed with the
issuance of the final rule. The analysis of public comments on the
estimated annual burden is summarized as follows:
Comments: Two respondents stated that the public's Paperwork
Reduction Act estimated annual reporting burden was understated.
Response: The Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35,
addresses the Government's collection of information and the public's
burden associated with any reporting or recordkeeping requirements of
the information. The reporting burden will be minimal. Contractors will
have to provide training documentation only rarely, i.e., when there is
an indication of non-compliance with the privacy training requirements
and it is necessary to review documentation in order for the Government
to ensure effective contractor management and oversight. The
recordkeeping requirements are minor, and are not subject to specific
formatting or template requirements. Contractors will have to maintain
evidence of completed privacy training. Notwithstanding the minimum
reporting and recordkeeping requirements, the estimated annual burden
is increased.
C. Annual Reporting Burden
DoD, GSA, and NASA have increased the estimated annual burden from
what was published in the Federal Register at 76 FR 63896, on October
14, 2011, as part of a proposed rule under FAR Case 2010-013, Privacy
Training. The increase in the total burden is attributed to the
clarification that the reporting requirement is applicable to
commercial-item contracts. DoD, GSA, and NASA decided that exempting
commercial-item contracts and subcontracts would exclude a significant
portion of Government contracts that involve the design, development,
operation, or maintenance of a system of records on individuals and
would therefore diminish the effectiveness of the rule.
Therefore, DoD, GSA, and NASA estimate the annual burden associated
with this information collection as follows:
Respondents: 21,025.
Responses per Respondent: 5.
Total Annual Responses: 105,125.
Hours per Response: .25.
Total Burden Hours: 26,281.
Obtaining Copies Of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the
information collection documents from the General Services
Administration, Regulatory Secretariat (MVCB), 1800 F Street NW.,
Washington, DC 20405, telephone 202-501-4755. Please cite OMB Control
No. 9000-0182, Privacy Training, in all correspondence.
