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

SUMMARY:  Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 
Secretariat will be submitting to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) a request to review and approve an extension of a currently 
approved information collection requirement concerning evaluation of 
export offers. The clearance currently expires on December 31, 2008.
    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
functions of the FAR, and 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: Submit comments on or before February 13, 2009.

ADDRESSES:  Submit comments regarding this burden estimate or any other 
aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for 
reducing this burden to the General Services Administration, FAR 
Secretariat (VPR), 1800 F Street, NW, Room 4041, Washington, DC 20405.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Ms. Jeritta Parnell, Contract Policy 
Division, GSA (202) 501-4082.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    Offers submitted in response to Government solicitations must be 
evaluated and awards made on the basis of the lowest laid down cost to 
the Government at the overseas port of discharge, via methods and ports 
compatible with required delivery dates and conditions affecting 
transportation known at the time of evaluation. Offers are evaluated on 
the basis of shipment through the port resulting in the lowest cost to 
the Government. This provision collects information regarding the 
vendor's preference for delivery ports. The information is used to 
evaluate offers and award a contract based on the lowest cost to the 
Government.
