Department. It is used to ensure that the contractors satisfy their 
contractual obligations; contract funds are expended as intended; and 
to detect and eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse. The data collected 
involves contractor compensation, pension, health and welfare data 
insurance claims, and employment type information.

package should be submitted to the OMB Desk Officer at the following 
address no later than September 11, 1998: OMB Desk Officer, Office of
