SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    This is a requirement for a revision and renewal of OMB control 
number 9000-0188, Combating Trafficking in Persons.
    Executive Order (E.O.) 13627, entitled Strengthening Protections 
Against Trafficking in Persons in Federal Contracts, dated September 
25, 2012 (77 FR 60029, October 2, 2012) and Title XVII of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Pub. L. 112-239, 
enacted January 2, 2013) strengthen the long standing zero-tolerance 
policy of the United States regarding Government employees and 
contractor personnel engaging in any form of trafficking in persons.
    Contractors are required to inform the contracting officer and the 
agency Inspector General of any credible information it receives from 
any source that alleges a contractor employee, subcontractor, or 
subcontractor employee, or their agent has engaged in conduct that 
violates the policy in paragraph (b) of the clause 52.222-50. This 
requirement flows down to all subcontractors.
    Additional protections are required where the estimated value of 
the supplies (other than commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) 
items) to be acquired outside the United States or

[[Page 34582]]

the services to be performed, outside the United States has an 
estimated value that exceeds $500,000. These protections include the 
following: (a) The contractor is required to implement and maintain a 
compliance plan during the performance of the contract that includes an 
awareness program, a process for employees to report activity 
inconsistent with the zero-tolerance policy, a recruitment and wage 
plan, a housing plan, and procedures to prevent subcontractors from 
engaging in trafficking in persons; and (b) The contractor is required 
to submit a certification to the contracting officer prior to receiving 
an award, and annually thereafter, asserting that it has the required 
compliance plan in place and that there have been no abuses, or that 
appropriate actions have been taken if abuses have been found. The 
compliance plan must be provided to the contracting officer upon 
request, and relevant portions of it must be posted at the workplace 
and on the contractor's website. Additionally, contractors are required 
to flow these requirements down to any subcontracts where the estimated 
value of the supplies acquired or the services required to be performed 
outside the United States exceeds $500,000.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: Ending Trafficking in 
Persons, FAR 22.1705 and FAR 52.222-50 and 52.222-56; OMB Control 
Number 9000-0188.
    Adjustment: This information collection is revised to include 
appropriate burden hours for reporting that was initially published in 
FAR Case 2013-001 (78 FR 59317 and 80 FR 4967) for FAR clause 52.222-
50, Combating Trafficking in Persons, and provision 52.222-56, 
Certification Regarding Trafficing in Persons Compliance Plan. The full 
burden associated with this FAR Case was inadvertently omitted in the 
Paperwork Reduction Act notice published on August 20, 2014 (78 FR 
59317). The following represents current burdens associated with the 
FAR clause and provision that were published in the proposed and final 
rules.
    Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profit entities.
