GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

[OMB Control No. 3090-0197]


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request Entitled GSAR 
Provision 552.237-70, Qualifications of Offerors

AGENCY: General Services Administration, GSA.

ACTION: Notice of a request for an extension to an existing OMB 
clearance.

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

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the General Services Administration (GSA) has 
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request to 
review and approve an extension of a previously approved information 
collection requirement concerning the Qualifications of Offerors under 
the Service Contracting.
    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether the 
information collection generated by the General Services Administration 
Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) Provision, Qualifications of Offerors, is 
necessary, to determine an offeror is responsible to work under a GSA 
contract and to properly determine an offeror's competency in 
performing comparable building service contracts; whether it will have 
practical utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this 
collection of information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions 
and methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected; and ways in which we can minimize the 
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, 
through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.

DATES: Comments may be submitted on or before October 22, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Julia Wise, Acquisition Policy 
Division, GSA (202) 208-1168.

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: Edward Springer, GSA Desk Officer,
