required by the Paperwork Reduction Act for 1995. Comments are 
requested concerning: (a) Whether the proposed or continuing 
collections of information are necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the burden estimates; (c) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information

placed on the public are published in 48 CFR chapter 7, and include 
such items as the Contractor Employee Biographical Data Sheet and

information collection requirements during the post-award period are 
based on the need to administer public funds prudently.
