GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION


Information Collection Activities Under Office of Management and 
Budget Review

agency: Office of Acquisition Policy, GSA.

summary: The GSA hereby gives notice under the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1980 that it is requesting the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
to approve an extension for the information collection for Multiple 
Award Schedule Policy Statements (MAS)--Discount Schedule and Marketing 
Data (DSMD). Extension is requested through October 31, 1995. DSMD 
sheets are used to collect data about certain sales, discounts, and 
marketing. The data are used to determine the commerciality of items 
offered, set the Government's negotiation objective, and determine 
price reasonableness. The extension is necessary because recent 
enactment of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act is likely to have 
a significant impact on the conduct of Federal procurement especially 
those aspects relating to the acquisition of commercial items. The MAS 
Program, which is intended specifically for the acquisition of 
commercial items, will be affected by the legislation. However, 
specific impacts cannot be determined until the Federal Acquisition 
Regulation is revised to implement the new statute. Current plans call 
for those revisions to be effected during April, 1995.
    It is emphasized that this extension is an interim measure. Given 
the likelihood of significant changes to the Federal Acquisition 
Regulation in the near future, the Agency has determined that it would 
be inappropriate to make any long term decision on the DSMD at this 
time. After regulations have been promulgated to implement the new 
statute, GSA will evaluate the impact on the MAS program and take 
action as appropriate.
