ACTION: Notice of request for an extension to an existing OMB clearance

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

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 Information Regarding Previous 
Contracts.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    When the same item or class of items is being acquired by more than 
one agency, the exchange and coordination of pertinent information, 
particularly cost and pricing data, is necessary to promote uniformity 
of treatment of major issues and the resolution of particularly 
difficult or controversial issues. For this reason, the contracting 
officer, early in a negotiation of a contract, or in connection with 
the review of a subcontract, must request the contractor to furnish 
information as to the contractor's or subcontractor's previous 
Government contracts and subcontracts for the same or similar end items 
and major subcontractor components. This information is particularly 
beneficial during the period of acquisition planning, presolicitation, 
evaluation, and preaward survey. The information is used to determine a 
firm's responsibility.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Public reporting burden for this collection of information is 
estimated to average 15 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, 
2,000; responses per respondent, 10; total annual responses, 20,000; 
preparation hours per response, .25; and total response burden hours, 
5,000.

    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. 9000-0036, 
Information Regarding Previous Contracts, in all correspondence.

    Dated: August 2, 1995.
Beverly Fayson,
FAR Secretariat.
