(44 U.S.C. 3501), the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Secretariat

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    Contractor's arrangements to pay contingent fees for soliciting or 
obtaining Government contracts have long been considered contrary to 
public policy because such arrangements may lead to attempted or actual 
exercise of improper influence. By way of this representation, 
prospective contractors are required to state whether or not they have 
used such an arrangement to obtain the contract.
    The information is used by Government Contracting Officers to 
determine the appropriateness of awarding a contract to the submitting 
firm.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Public reporting burden for this collection of information is 
estimated to average .33 hours 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.
    The annual reporting burden is estimated as follows: Respondents, 
2,500; responses per respondent, 10; total annual responses, 25,000; 
preparation hours per response, .33; and total response burden hours, 
8,333.
