Clearnace Request for Clean Air and Water Certification
AGENCIES: Department of Defense (DOD), General Services Administration
(GSA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
ACTION: Notice of request for an extension to an existing OMB clearance
(9000-0021).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980
(44 U.S.C. 3501), the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Secretariat
has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request to
review and approve an extension of a currently approved information
collection requirement concerning Clean Air and Water Certification.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Beverly Fayson, Office of Federal Acquisition Policy, GSA (202) 501-
4755.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
It is the Government's policy to improve environmental quality.
Accordingly, Executive agencies must conduct their acquisition
activities in a manner that will result in effective enforcement of the
Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.) and the Clean Water Act (33
U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). The information required by the Clean Air and
Water Certification is used to determine a contractor's compliance with
these laws. A determination of noncompliance by the contracting officer
requires notifying the agency head or designee who, in turn, notifies
the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Administrator, or a
designee, in writing. Government contracting offices use the
information to determine a firm's eligibility for award of a contract
and to provide information to the EPA.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is
estimated to average .01666 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. Send comments regarding this burden estimate
or any other aspect of this collection of information, including
suggestions for reducing this burden, to the General Services
Administration, FAR Secretariat, 18th and F Streets, NW, Room 4037,
Washington, DC 20405.
The annual reporting burden is estimated as follows: Respondents,
83,400; responses per respondent, 20; total annual responses,
1,668,000; preparation hours per response, .01666; and total response
burden hours, 27,800.
Obtaining Copies of Proposals
Requester may obtain copies of OMB applications or justifications
from the General Services Administration, FAR Secretariat (VRS), Room
4037, Washington, DC 20405, telephone (202) 501-4755. Please cite OMB
Control No. 9000-0021, Clean Air and Water Certification, in all
correspondence.
Dated: June 19, 1995.
