SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest is a regulation
which establishes policies and procedures relating to Conflicts of
Interest Standards for Government contractors who provide advisory and
assistance services and persons who provide marketing consulting
services to Government contractors. The regulation also promotes
compliance with the standards. The regulation enables the Government to
identify the number of marketing consultants employed by successful
offerors for large dollar contracts. It also provides the Government
with information to identify, evaluate, and resolve organizational
conflicts of interest.
The information gathered is used by the Government in determining
the number of consultants employed by contractors as marketing
consultants and to identify, evaluate, and resolve potential conflicts
of interest under advisory and assistance service contracts. Without
this information, identification of these individuals, and
identification, evaluation, and resolution of conflicts of interest
situations would not be possible.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is
estimated to average 2 hours per response, including the time for
reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the
collection of information.
The annual reporting burden is estimated as follows: Respondents,
4,000; responses per respondent, 1.5; total annual responses, 6,000;
preparation hours per response, 2; and total response burden hours,
12,000.
Dated: November 21, 1996.
