SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    Presolicitation notices are used by the Government for several 
reasons, one of which is to aid prospective contractors in submitting 
proposals without undue expenditure of effort, time, and money. The 
Government also uses the presolicitation notices to control printing 
and mailing costs. The presolicitation notice response is used to 
determine the number of solicitation documents needed and to assure 
that interested offerors receive the solicitation documents. The 
responses are placed in the contract file and referred to when 
solicitation documents are ready for mailing. After mailing, the 
responses remain in the contract file and become a matter of record.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Public reporting burden for this collection of information is 
estimated to average 10 minutes per completion, 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, 
5,900; responses per respondent, 8; total annual responses, 47,200; 
preparation hours per response, .167; and total response burden hours, 
7,882.

    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. 9000-0037, 
Presolicitation Notice and Response, Standard Form 1417, in all 
correspondence.

    Dated: August 2, 1995.
