SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This is a new information collection to comply with Executive Order (E.O.) 14398, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, which prohibits contractors from engaging in any racially discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) activities (91 FR 16147, March 31, 2026). This clearance covers the information that GSA contractors for all non-FAR based-contracts such as procurements including leases of real property, concession contracts, and outleases, must submit in response to the requirements of section 3 of E.O. 14398 as implemented in the following FAR clause 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors. The information collected is used by contracting officers to ensure compliance with E.O. 14398, including section 4 which establishes remedies for noncompliance with the E.O.
Public reporting burden for FAR clause 52.222-90, is estimated to average 1.167 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:
Total annual responses: 251.
Preparation hours per response: 1.167.
Total response burden hours: 293.
Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this collection of information is necessary; whether it will have practical utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection of information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways in which we can minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
