SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    Agencies are required to report under 41 U.S.C. 252(d) and 10 
U.S.C. 2305(d) suspected violations of the antitrust laws (e.g., 
collusive bidding, identical bids, uniform estimating systems, etc.) to 
the Attorney General.
    As a first step in assuring that Government contracts are not 
awarded to firms violating such laws, offerors on Government contracts 
must complete the certificate of independent price determination. An 
offer will not be considered for award where the certificate has been 
deleted or modified. Deletions or modifications of the certificate and 
suspected false certificates are reported to the Attorney General.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Public reporting burden for this collection of information is 
estimated to average .04 hours for the first completion, .0083 hours 
for subsequent completions, or an average of .01 hours 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, 
64,250; responses per respondent, 20; total annual responses, 
1,285,000; preparation hours per response, .02; and total response 
burden hours, 25,700.
