NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION-

[OMB Control No. 9000-0142]-


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request Entitled Past 
Performance Information

AGENCIES: Department of Defense (DOD), General Services Administration 
(GSA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Notice of request for an extension to an existing OMB clearance 
(9000-0142).

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

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), 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 Past Performance 
Information. A request for public comments was published at 61 FR 9983, 
March 12, 1996. One comment was received resulting in a change to block 
11c of Standard Form 83-I, i.e., including ``not-for-profit 
institutions'' as part of the affected public.

DATES: Comment Due Date: June 28, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect 
of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing 
this burden, should be submitted to: FAR Desk Officer, OMB, Room 10102, 
NEOB, Washington, DC 20503, and a copy to the General Services 
Administration, FAR Secretariat (MVRS), 18th & F Streets, NW, Room 
4037, Washington, DC 20405. Please cite OMB Control No. 9000-0142, Past 
Performance Information, in all correspondence.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Linda Klein, Federal Acquisition 
Policy Division, GSA (202) 501-3775.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose-

    Past performance information is relevant information, for future 
source selection purposes, regarding a contractor's actions under 
previously awarded contracts. When past performance is to be evaluated, 
the rule states that the solicitation shall afford offerors the 
opportunity to identify Federal, state and local government, and 
private contracts performed by offerors that were similar in nature to 
the contract being evaluated.-
    A submission for OMB review entitled Past Performance Information 
was published in the Federal Register under the emergency processing 
procedure on March 12, 1996, with a notice of request for public 
comment. One comment was received calling attention to the fact that 
block 11c on Standard Form 83-I, Paperwork Reduction Act Submission, 
should have also been checked. Block 11 concerns ``Affected public'' 
and ``c'' is entitled ``Not-for-profit institutions.'' As a result of 
the comment, block 11c has now been checked to include ``not-for-profit 
institutions.'' The burden estimates have not been affected as a result 
of the comment because the burden estimates are based on the total 
number of estimated affected contract actions and not on the status of 
the contractors themselves.-

B. Annual Reporting Burden -

    Public reporting burden for this collection of information is 
estimated to average 2 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.-
    The annual reporting burden is estimated as follows: Respondents, 
150,000; responses per respondent, 4; total annual responses, 600,000; 
preparation hours per response, 2; and total response burden hours, 
1,200,000.

OBTAINING COPIES OF PROPOSALS: Requester may obtain copies of 
justifications from the General Services Administration, FAR 
Secretariat (MVRS), Room 4037, Washington, DC 20405, telephone (202) 
501-4755. Please cite OMB Control No. 9000-0142, Past Performance 
Information, in all correspondence.

    Dated: May 22, 1996.
Patricia A. Ting,
Secretariat.
