                   Paperwork Reduction Act (JAN 2001)



    (a) In the event that it subsequently becomes a contractual 

requirement to collect or record information calling either for answers 

to identical questions from 10 or more persons other than Federal 

employees, or information from Federal employees which is outside the 

scope of their employment, for use by the Federal government or 

disclosure to third parties, the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 

L. 104-13) shall apply to this contract. No plan, questionnaire, 

interview guide or other similar device for collecting information 

(whether repetitive or single-time) may be used without first obtaining 

clearance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Contractors 

and Project Officers should be guided by the provisions of 5 CFR Part 

1320, Controlling Paperwork Burdens on the Public, and seek the advice 

of the HHS operating division or Office of the Secretary Reports 

Clearance Officer to determine the procedures for acquiring OMB 

clearance.

    (b) The Contractor shall obtain the required OMB clearance through 

the Project Officer before expending any funds or making public 

contracts for the collection of data. The authority to expend funds and 

proceed with the collection of information shall be in writing by the 

Contracting Officer. The Contractor must plan at least 120 days for OMB 

clearance. Excessive delays caused by the Government which arises out of 

causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the 

Contractor will be considered in accordance with the Excusable Delays or 

Default clause of this contract.
