(44 U.S.C. 3501), the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Secretariat

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    The Affidavit of Individual Surety (Standard Form (SF) 28) will be 
used by all executive agencies, including the Department of Defense, to 
obtain information from individuals wishing to serve as sureties to 
Government bonds. 

[[Page 46167]]
In order to qualify as a surety on a Government bond, the individual 
must show a net worth not less than the penal amount of the bond on the 
SF 28. It is an elective decision on the part of the maker to use 
individual sureties instead of other available sources of surety or 
sureties for Government bonds. We are not aware if other formats exist 
for the collection of this information.
    The information on SF 28 will be used to assist the contracting 
officer in determining the acceptability of individuals proposed as 
sureties.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Public reporting burden for this collection of information is 
estimated to average .4 hours 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, 
500; responses per respondent, 1.43; total annual responses, 715; 
preparation hours per response, .4; and total response burden hours, 
286.
