Security Functions Outside the United States.
[[Page 48355]]
B. Needs and Uses
In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.225-26,
Contractors Performing Private Security Functions Outside the United
States requires contractors performing in areas such as Iraq and
Afghanistan to ensure that their personnel performing private security
functions comply with 32 CFR part 159, including (1) accounting for
Government-acquired and contractor-furnished property and (2) reporting
incidents in which a weapon is discharged, personnel are attacked or
killed or property is destroyed, or active, lethal countermeasures are
employed.
C. Annual Reporting Burden
The estimated hours per response required to identify and input
information increased to .5 hours per response. This is an increase
from .167 hours per response published in the first notice.
Respondents: 16.
Responses per Respondent: 5.
Total Responses: 80.
Hours per Response: .5.
Total Burden Hours: 40.
Frequency: On Occasion.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit institutions.
D. Public Comment
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register at 84 FR 17830 on
April 26, 2019. One comment was received. The analysis of the public
comment is summarized as follows:
a. Summary of the Collection Activity is not Accurate
Comment: The respondent expressed that the summary of the
collection activity is not accurate, because it only gives two examples
of the purposes of the collection.
Response: After additional review of the collection activity
requirement, it is deemed no change is necessary because the summary of
the information collection adequately identifies the required
information.
b. Low Burden Estimate
Comment: The respondent states that the burden estimate seems low
for 16 private security companies, each giving 5 responses which takes
a small amount of time to complete.
Response: Based on discussions with subject matter experts, it has
been concluded that the estimated hours per response were
underestimated. The response time has been increased from .167 to .5.
This increase will more accurately reflect the burden estimate.
c. Reporting Form
Comment: The respondent indicated that the actual form should be
approved along with the information collection summary to provide
sufficient details to meet the reporting requirements.
Response: After further review, the reporting requirements detailed
in the information collection summary are deemed to provide sufficient
details to meet the objectives of FAR clause 52.225-26. No further
revisions are necessary because the information collection summary
adequately identifies the reporting requirements.
Obtaining Copies: Requesters may obtain a copy of the information
collection documents from the General Services Administration,
Regulatory Secretariat Division (MVCB), 1800 F Street NW, Washington,
DC 20405, telephone 202-501-4755.
