SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) Provision 
852.211-74, Special Notice (previously 852.210-74).
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0588.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: VAAR provision 852.211-74, Special Notice, is used only 
in VA's telephone system acquisition solicitations and requires the 
contractor, after award of the contract, to submit descriptive 
literature on the equipment the contractor intends to furnish to show 
how that equipment meets specification requirements of the 
solicitation. The information is needed to ensure that equipment 
proposed by the contractor meets specification requirements. Failure to 
require the information could result in the installation of equipment 
that does not meet contract requirements, with significant loss to the 
contractor if the contractor subsequently had to remove the equipment 
and furnish equipment that did meet the specification requirements.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register notice with a 
60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of 
information was published on April 6, 2004, at pages 18161-18162.
    Affected Public: Business or other for profit, individuals or 
households, and not-for-profit.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 150 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden Per Respondent: 5 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 30.

    Dated: July 13, 2004.

    By direction of the Secretary.
Loise Russell,
Director, Records Management Service.
