In compliance with section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction

approval of the information collection listed below.
Proposed Collection Title: Federally Funded Research Development
Center Contract Administration System (FCAS) Vendor Portal National
Cancer Institute (NCI), 0925-0773, Expiration Date 10/31/2024,
REVISION, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of
Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: This is a request for OMB
to approve the revised information collection for the Federally Funded
Research Development Center Contract Administration System (FCAS)
Vendor Portal. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Office of
Acquisitions (OA), located within the Office of the Director (OD) in
the Office of Management (OM) at the National Cancer Institute (NCI),
awards and administers contracts and simplifies acquisitions in support
of the Institute's mission to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer.
During the acquisition process, the OA ensures that customer service is
paramount and communications are open and continuous. Currently,
requests and correspondence are sent to and received from vendors
through email, except the FFRDC Contractor, who submits through the
FCAS Vendor Portal, which is in production. To streamline processes,
increase transparency, and gain efficiencies, the OA uses the FCAS
vendor portal to replace processes
[[Page 79302]]
handled through emailing FCAS Vendor Portal Users to individual OA
recipients. The FCAS Vendor Portal will serve as a one-stop shop for
the transmission of requests, reports, deliverables, and other
correspondence due to numerous research and development in support of
R&D contracts as well as those contract vehicles awarded using various
Federal Acquisition Procedures, including but not limited to FAR Part
8, Required Sources of Supplies and Services, FAR Part 13, Simplified
Acquisition Procedures, and FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial
Items. These reports and deliverables cover a wide variety of topics in
the areas of cancer research, including prevention, detection,
diagnosis, and control.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 77.
