IV.  Paperwork Reduction Act

The interim rule does not contain any new information collection requirements that require the approval of the Office of Management and Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). The existing burden hours for the information collection requirements that will now be in 52.209-7 and 52.209-9 were initially approved under OMB clearance 9000-0174 with regard to FAR Case 2008-027, with a reference only to 52.209-7, because initially all burdens were included in that provision. However, in the final rule under FAR Case 2008-027, the ongoing portion of the reporting to FAPIIS was separated out of the FAR provision 52.209-7 and incorporated into FAR clause 52.209-8. This transfer did not change the number of approved hours. In this case, the burden for 52.209-8 is transferred to 52.209-9, again without any change to the burden hours initially approved under OMB clearance 9000-0174.
