Final Approval Under OMB Delegated Authority of the Extension for Three
Years, With Revision, of the Following Information Collection
Collection title: Procurement Solicitation Package.
Collection identifier: FR 1400.
OMB control number: 7100-0180.
Effective Date: October 11, 2023.
General description of collection: The Board uses the Procurement
Solicitation Package, which includes a supplier database and
solicitation documents as appropriate, to assist in the competitive
process of soliciting proposals from suppliers of goods and services.
The Procurement Solicitation Package includes the: Supplier
Registration System (FR 1400A), Solicitation Package (Solicitation,
Offer, and Award Form; Supplier Information Form; Past Performance Data
Sheet; and Past Performance Questionnaire) (FR 1400B), Supplier Risk
Management Offeror Questionnaire (FR 1400C), and Subcontracting Report
(FR 1400D).
The solicitation documents are typically for the procurement of
goods, services and construction that are not off-the-shelf items. The
Board's supplier database serves as a venue for Board staff to research
potential suppliers and their qualifications. When a solicitation is
constructed for a specific acquisition, the solicitation package is
typically called a Solicitation, Offer, and Award (SOA) document, which
consists of the Solicitation Form (Section A of the SOA) and Supplier
Information Form (Section N of the SOA), which are both part of FR
1400B. Depending on the requirements of the specific acquisition, the
SOA may also consist of a Past Performance Data Sheet (part of FR
1400B), Past Performance Questionnaire (part of FR 1400B), Supplier
Risk Management Offeror Questionnaire (FR 1400C), or Subcontracting
Report (FR 1400D). This information collection is required to collect
data on prices, specifications of goods and services, and
qualifications of prospective suppliers.
Frequency: Event-generated.
Respondents: Businesses and individuals.
Total estimated number of respondents: 630.
Total estimated change in burden: 33.
Total estimated annual burden hours: 24,863.\1\

Supporting Statement posted at <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/apps/reportingforms/home/review">https://www.federalreserve.gov/apps/reportingforms/home/review</a>. On the page displayed at the link, you

Current actions: On May 15, 2023, the Board published a notice in
the Federal Register (88 FR 30970) requesting public comment for 60
days on the extension, with revision, of the Procurement Solicitation
Package. The Board proposed to revise the FR 1400 by transitioning the
FR 1400B into the new online source to settle system provided by Coupa,
making minor revisions to the content to help improve reporting and
reduce commonly asked follow-up questions, and adding a new section to
the SOA, which respondents will be required to complete and then update
or re-certify each year. This information would be required for every
supplier when they complete a solicitation. Additionally, on an annual
basis, suppliers would be required to login to Coupa to update or re-
certify that representation information they originally entered in the
``Board of Governors Policy Information'' section is still correct. The
FR 1400C and FR 1400D would also be transitioned to the Coupa system;
however, the contents and format of the FR 1400C and FR 1400D would not
change. There were no revisions proposed to the FR 1400A.The comment
period for this notice expired on July 14, 2023. The Board did not
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
receive any comments. The revisions will be implemented as proposed.
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, September 5,
2023.
Michele Taylor Fennell,
Deputy Associate Secretary of the Board.
