Abstract

The below represents the pricing disclosures and sales reporting requirements currently codified in the GSAR covered by this information collection. a. Solicitation requirements. ● GSAR 515.408(b) prescribes the commercial sales practices format that applicable FSS offerors are to complete when submitting their offer. ● GSAR 515.408(c) prescribes the instructions for completing the commercial sales practices format prescribed in 515.408(b). FSS offerors are required to submit the information required in GSAR 515.408(b) as part of their offer. b. Clause requirements. ● Clause prescription. GSAR section 538.273 includes the prescription for the following GSAR clauses: 552.238-80; 552.238-81; 552.238-83; and 552.238-85. ● Clauses. The GSAR clauses covered by this information collection apply to contractors that hold a FSS contract that are subject to certain pricing disclosures and sales reporting requirements (e.g., sometimes referred to as non-TDR contracts). These GSAR clauses require contractors to submit information, as necessary, as part of contract performance. The following is the information requested per clause: ○ Basic version of GSAR clause 552.238-80, Industrial Funding Fee and Sales Reporting. The basic version of this clause requires contractors to report once a quarter contract sales as well as to remit the Industrial Funding Fee (IFF) due to GSA. Sales reporting includes reporting any instances where “zero” sales occurred during the reporting period as well. ○ Basic version of GSAR clause 552.238-81, Price Reductions. The basic version of this clause requires a contractor to notify the FSS contracting officer of all price reductions to the customer (or category of customers) that was the basis of award. The contractor's report shall include an explanation of the conditions under which the reductions were made. The basic version of this clause also allows the contractor to offer the FSS contracting officer a voluntary Governmentwide price reduction at any time during the contract period. ○ 552.238-83, Examination of Records by GSA. This clause requires contractors (regardless if TDR requirements apply or not) to maintain certain records and to ensure the Administrator of General Services or any duly authorized representative have to and the right to examine any books, documents, papers and records of the contractor involving transactions related to this contract for overbillings, billing errors, compliance with GSAR clauses 552.238-81 and 552.238-80. ○ 552.238-85, Contractor’s Billing Responsibilities. The clause allows a contractor to authorize their dealer(s) to bill ordering activities and accept payment on behalf of the contractor (regardless if TDR requirements apply or not). In this case, the contractor and dealer must enter into an agreement that includes, but not limited to, the dealer agreeing to maintain certain records on sales under the contractor’s FSS contract. This record keeping requirement does not add any additional burden to what is already captured by GSAR clause 552.238-80. ○ 552.238-120, Economic Price Adjustment—Federal Supply Schedule Contracts. This clause allows contractors (regardless if TDR requirements apply or not) to request economic price adjustments during contract performance. Contractors requesting price adjustment must submit requests that fully conform to the requirements of the economic price adjustment method and include sufficient information to support the request.

Abstract

This information collection applies to General Services Administration (GSA) construction contractors’ proposals to establish the final estimated cost of the work, to convert the contract to a firm-fixed-price, and to determine the final settlement. Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) refers to a project management and contracting technique that is one of three predominant methods used for acquiring construction services by GSA. The other two methods are design-bid-build and design-build. The information is used by contracting officers to evaluate proposals and negotiate contract modifications during contract administration. GSA would be unable to assess readily and equitably offers fairly and competitively if they were not allowed to collect data required in the information collection. Method: GSAR 552.236-79, Construction-Contractor-as-Constructor, requires the contractor to submit a proposal to establish the final estimated cost of the work, to convert the contract to a firm-fixed-price, and to determine the final settlement.

Abstract

The information collected is used by the FAA, Noise Division of the Office of Environment and Energy, to issue special flight authorizations for nonrevenue operations of transports and non-transport jet, Stage 2 airplanes at U.S. airports. The operators of such noisier airplanes that seek specific operations into U.S. airports must fill out an SFA form to request FAA approval. The collection of this information is mandatory and must be reported by operators when they need a special flight authorization after 12/31/2015. Minimal data is requested to identify the affected parties and determine whether the purpose for the flight is one of the ones enumerated in the law. The collection of information is on occasion and follows the circumstances enumerated in the law. The submitted data, about requested flight departure and arrival airports that match the purpose of flight, is used to attest to such authorized flight operations in the case of audit by FAA enforcement personnel. The FAA maintains in records the original request information. FAA form 1050-8 exists to minimize operator and FAA workload; intended to get all the information at one time in most cases (avoid repeated contacts to issue one special flight authorization).

The Financial Assistance for Victims Program (FAV Program) helps victim service providers, Tribal governments, and Tribal organizations with providing flexible financial assistance to survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking, alongside other victim services. Flexible financial assistance is intended to support survivors in achieving safety, stability, and healing by paying for necessities that are not easily met by traditional service providers, with the flexibility to meet self-identified needs quickly. Congress has appropriated funds, annually, for this purpose since 2023. These appropriations provide for an evaluation of the effectiveness of funded projects. OVW has chosen to conduct a formative evaluation of the FAV program.

Abstract

The MIECHV program supports voluntary, evidence-based home visiting services during pregnancy and to families with young children up to kindergarten entry living in at-risk communities. One key program requirement is that programs deliver services using models that meet HHS criteria for evidence of effectiveness.1 HRSA and ACF define such service delivery models as “evidence-based.” ACF administers the Home Visiting Evidence of Effectiveness (HomVEE) review process to identify early childhood home visiting models that demonstrate evidence of effectiveness.2 However, not all evidence-based service delivery models approved through the HomVEE process meet MIECHV statutory requirements such that they may be used to carry out the MIECHV Program in fidelity to applicable program requirements. This ICR to proposes a survey to identify service delivery models that meet both HHS criteria for evidence of effectiveness, as determined by HomVEE review, and applicable MIECHV statutory requirements, and therefore may be used by eligible entities to provide home visiting services through the MIECHV Program.
