SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    The new Standard Form (SF) 1418, Performance Bond for Other than 
Construction, is being proposed for establishment. This coincides with 
the proposed rule, FAR case 91-27, providing a contract clause 
governing performance bonds for other than construction. The terms and 
conditions governing performance bonds for construction and other than 
construction may vary. The SF 1418 is being created to reflect these 
different terms and conditions.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Public reporting burden for this collection of information is 
estimated to average 25 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.
    The annual reporting burden is estimated as follows: Respondents, 
500; responses per respondent, 5; total annual responses, 2,500; 
preparation hours per response, .5; and total response burden hours, 
1,250.

    Dated: January 23, 1996.
Beverly Fayson,
FAR Secretariat.
