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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

A. Purpose

    Subpart 4.9, Information Reporting to the Internal Revenue Service 
(IRS), and the provision at 52.204-3, Taxpayer Identification, 
implement statutory and regulatory requirements pertaining to taxpayer 
identification and reporting. This amendment further revises 4.9 and 
the provision at 52.204-3 to require the collection and reporting of 
the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) of certain contract 
modifications. A determination was made that additional FAR coverage 
was necessary in order to ensure that these contract actions are 
reported to the Internal Revenue Service.
    When the Internal Revenue Service issued its final regulations 
implementing section 6050M of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (Pub. L. 99-
514), the reporting requirements included the requirement to report 
certain modifications to contracts that were awarded before January 1, 
1989. It was determined that additional FAR coverage was required.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Public reporting burden for this collection of information is 
estimated to average 6 minutes 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, 
250,000; responses per respondent, 12; total annual responses, 
3,000,000; preparation hours per response, .10; and total response 
burden hours, 300,000.

    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. 9000-0097, 
Information Reporting to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) (Taxpayer 
Identification Number), in all correspondence.
