                AGENCY: Department of Defense (DOD), General Services Administration
                (GSA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
                ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
                -----------------------------------------------------------------------
                SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, and
                the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulations, DoD, GSA, and
                NASA invite the public to comment on a revision and renewal concerning
                past performance information. DoD, GSA, and NASA invite comments on:
                Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the
                proper performance of the functions of Federal Government acquisitions,
                including whether the information will have practical utility; the
                accuracy of the estimate of the burden of the proposed information
                collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
                information to be collected; and ways to minimize the burden of the
                information collection on respondents, including the use of automated
                collection techniques or other forms of information technology. OMB has
                approved this information collection for use through April 30, 2021.
                DoD, GSA, and NASA propose that OMB extend its approval for use for
                three additional years beyond the current expiration date.
                DATES: DoD, GSA, and NASA will consider all comments received by April
                12, 2021.
                ADDRESSES: DoD, GSA, and NASA invite interested persons to submit
                comments on this collection through http://www.regulations.gov and
                follow the instructions on the site. This website provides the ability
                to type short comments directly into the comment field or attach a file
                for lengthier comments. If there are difficulties submitting comments,

                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
                A. OMB Control Number, Title, and any Associated Form(s)
                 9000-0142, Past Performance Information.
                B. Need and Uses
                 This clearance covers the information that offerors and contractors
                must submit to comply with the following Federal Acquisition Regulation
                (FAR) requirements:
                 Preaward. For responses during source selection.
                 FAR 15.305(a)(2)(ii). This section requires solicitations
                describe the approach for evaluating past performance, including
                evaluating offerors with no relevant performance history, and providing
                offerors an opportunity to identify past or current contracts
                (including Federal, State, and local government and private) for
                efforts similar to the Government requirement. Solicitations also must
                authorize offerors to provide information on problems encountered on
                their identified contracts and the offeror corrective actions. Per FAR
                15.304(c)(3), past performance must be evaluated in all source
                selections for negotiated competitive acquisitions expected to exceed
                the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT) unless the contracting
                [[Page 8914]]
                officer documents the reason past performance is not an appropriate
                evaluation factor for the acquisition.
                 FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors--Commercial Items.
                This provision requires offerors, per paragraph (b)(10), to submit past
                performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to
                include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and
                other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with
                telephone numbers and other relevant information).
                 Postaward. For responses in the Contractor Performance Assessment
                Reporting System (CPARS).
                 FAR 42.1503(d). Requires contractors be afforded up to 14
                calendar days from the notification date that a past performance
                evaluation has been entered into CPARS to submit comments, rebutting
                statements, or additional information. Past performance information is
                relevant information regarding a contractor's actions under previously
                awarded contracts or orders, for future source selection purposes.
                Source selection officials may obtain past performance information from
                a variety of sources.
                 The contracting officer will use the information to support future
                source selection decisions.
                C. Annual Burden
                 Respondents: 65,373.
                 Total Annual Responses: 83,262.
                 Total Burden Hours: 166,524.
                 Obtaining Copies: Requesters may obtain a copy of the information
