SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    Contracting officers terminate contracts, for default or 
convenience, only when it is in the best interest of the Government to 
do so. After receipt of the notice of termination, contractors are 
required to terminate subcontracts, advise the contracting officer of 
any special circumstances, submit any requests for an equitable 
adjustment, submit a settlement proposal, and take other action as 
directed. Records regarding the terminated contract must be maintained 
for 3 years.
    The information submitted or retained in connection with contract 
termination is used to reach an equitable settlement with firms and to 
protect the interests of the Government and the terminated contractor.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Public reporting burden for this collection of information is 
estimated to average 3 hours per termination, 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, 
2,920; responses per respondent, 1; total annual responses, 2,920; 
preparation hours per response, 3; and total response burden hours, 
8,760; and total recordkeeping hours, 2,920.
