SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 4.11 prescribes 
policies and procedures for requiring contractor registration in the 
Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database. The CCR is the primary 
vendor database for the U.S. Federal Government. CCR collects, 
validates, stores, and disseminates data

[[Page 22605]]

in support of agency acquisition missions.
    Both current and potential Federal Government vendors are required 
to register in CCR in order to be awarded contracts by the Federal 
Government. Vendors are required to complete a one-time registration to 
provide basic information relevant to procurement and financial 
transactions. Vendors must update or renew their registration at least 
once per year to maintain an active status.
    The CCR validates the vendor information and electronically share 
the secure and encrypted data with Federal agency finance offices to 
facilitate paperless payments through electronic funds transfer. 
Additionally, CCR shares the data with Federal Government procurement 
and electronic business systems.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 110,350.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 110,350.
    Hours per Response: 1.7141.
    Total Burden Hours: 189,151.

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
functions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and 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.
