FAR Case 2026-001; Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul Parts 1, 2, 4, 33, 39, 40, and 53 (91 FR 37550); includes information collections under the PRA. Following are the collections previously approved by OMB that would be revised by the proposed rule.
The changes under the proposed rule, if finalized, would revise the information collection and the paperwork burden previously approved by OMB under OMB Control Nos. 9000-0177, Reporting Executive Compensation and First-tier Subcontract Awards; and 9000-0189, Certain Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 4 Requirements. The public reporting burden for these collections of information will be consolidated under OMB Control No. 9000-0189 with the new title “Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 4 Requirements” and OMB Control No. 9000-0177 will be discontinued. Additionally, the public reporting burden for OMB Control No. 9000-0189 will be revised to exclude commercial acquisitions from the information collection requirements under the clauses at FAR 52.204-10, 52.204-14, and 52.204-15 as described in section II. of the proposed rule's preamble.
The revised annual reporting burden is estimated as follows:
Respondents: 66,575.
Total Annual Responses: 271,227.
Total Burden Hours: 393,994.
The changes under the proposed rule, if finalized, would revise the information collection and the paperwork burden previously approved by OMB under OMB Control Nos. 9000-0189 for the FAR 52.204-23 information collection; 9000-0199, Prohibition on Contracting for Certain Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment; and 9000-0205, Implementation of Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act (FASCSA) Orders. The public reporting burden for these collections of information will be consolidated under OMB Control No. 9000-0199 with the new title “Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 40 Requirements” and OMB Control No. 9000-0205 will be discontinued. Additionally, the public reporting burden for OMB Control No. 9000-0199 will be revised to add to the information collection burden to implement Section 203 in the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act of 2018, which is the title II of the “Strengthening and Enhancing Cyber-capabilities by Utilizing Risk Exposure Technology Act” (SECURE Technology Act) (Pub. L. 115-390); and Executive Order (E.O.) 13556, Controlled Unclassified Information, that established the Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Program and the National Archives and Records Administration's final rule at 81 FR 63324 on September 14, 2016 to implement the CUI requirements of E.O. 13556.
