(44 U.S.C. 3501), the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Secretariat 
has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request 
for a revision of a currently approved information collection

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    In accordance with the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 631, et seq.), 
contractors receiving a contract for more than $10,000 agree to have 
small and small disadvantaged business concerns participate in the 
performance of the contract as far as practicable. Contractors 
receiving a contract or a modification to a contract expected to exceed 
$500,000 ($1,000,000 for construction) must submit a subcontracting 
plan that provides maximum practicable opportunities for small and 
small disadvantaged business concerns. Specific elements required to be 
included in the plan are specified in section 8(d) of the Small 
Business Act and are implemented in FAR 19.7.
    In conjunction with these plans, contractors must submit reports of 
their progress on SF 295, Summary Subcontract Report. In addition, OFPP 
Policy Letter 91-1, Government-Wide Small Business and Small 
Disadvantaged Business Goals for Procurement Contracts, requires 
Executive branch departments and agencies to report the number and 
dollar value of subcontracts awarded to small business, small 
disadvantaged business and women-owned small business. The report is 
being revised to delete the requirement to report Labor Surplus Area 
Subcontracts and to collect subcontract goal achievement on contracts 
with women-owned small business concerns (DOD only). This information 
is required to implement Section 7105 of Public Law 103-355.
    Information submitted on SF 295 is used to assess contractor's 
compliance with their subcontracting plans and to report achievement of 
goals for subcontract awards to small business, small disadvantaged 
business and women-owned small business.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Total annual public reporting burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average 99,024 hours, including the time 
for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering 
and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the 
collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate 
or any other aspect of this collection of information, including 
suggestions for reducing this burden, to General Services 
Administration, FAR Secretariat, 18th & F Streets, NW, Room 4035, 
Washington, DC 20405, and to the FAR Desk Officer, Office of 
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 
Washington, DC 20503.
    The annual reporting burden is estimated as follows: Respondents, 
1,542; responses per respondent, 3.6; total annual responses, 5,568; 
preparation hours per response, 17.78; and total response burden hours, 
99,024.

C. Annual Recordkeeping Burden

Recordkeepers, 1,542; hours per recordkeeper, 13; and total 
recordkeeping burden hours, 20,046.
