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 Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) 
Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) Clause.
    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether the 
information collection generated by the GSAR Clause, Economic Price 
Adjustment (EPA) is necessary to determine an offeror's price is fair 
and reasonable; 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 29, 2001.
