of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), that it is

[[Page 5385]]

requesting the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to reinstate 
information collection, 3090-0248, Placement of Orders and Ordering 
Information. This information collection advances improved information 
technology usage by facilitating the use of electronic data interchange 
(EDI). GSA's Federal Supply Service has discontinued placing paper 
delivery orders and now maximizes the use of computer-to-computer EDI. 
As an alternative, a contractor can receive EDI delivery orders through 
facsimile transmission. This extended use of EDI furthers congressional 
and executive branch policies that Federal agencies provide leadership 
in advancing environmental objectives through technology and the 
expanded use of electronic commerce.

DATES: April 3, 1998.

3235, NEOB, Washington, DC 20503, and to Marjorie Ashby, General 
Services Administration (MVP), 18th & F Streets, NW, Washington, DC 
20405.

average hours per response: .30; burden hours: 130.

Policy (202) 501-1224.
