AGENCIES: Department of Defense (DOD), General Services Administration 
(GSA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Notice of request for an extension to an existing OMB clearance 
(9000-0094).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 
(44 U.S.C. 3501), the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Secretariat 
has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request to 
review and approve an extension of a currently approved information 
collection requirement concerning Debarment and Suspension.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Beverly Fayson, Office of Federal 
Acquisition Policy, GSA (202) 501-4755.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    The FAR requires contracts to be awarded to only those contractors 
determined to be responsible. Instances where a firm or its principals 
have been indicted, convicted, suspended, proposed for debarment, 
debarred, or had a contract terminated for default are critical factors 
to be considered by the contracting officer in making a responsibility 
determination. This certification would require the disclosure of this 
information.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Public reporting burden for this collection of information is 
estimated to average 30 minutes per subcontractor and 5 minutes per 
prime contractor per response, 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 4037, 
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, 
1,244,301; responses per respondent, 1; total annual responses, 
1,244,301; preparation hours per response, 30 min. sub., 5 min. prime; 
and total response burden hours, 103,942.

OBTAINING COPIES OF PROPOSALS: Requester may obtain copies of OMB 
applications or justifications from the General Services 
Administration, FAR Secretariat (VRS), Room 4037, Washington, DC 20405, 
telephone (202) 501-4755. Please cite OMB Control No. 9000-0094,
