SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    Under Federal contracts requiring that equipment (e.g., pumps, 
fans, generators, chillers, etc.) be installed in a project, the 
Government must determine that the equipment meets the contract 
requirements. Therefore, the contractor must submit sufficient data on 
the particular equipment to allow the Government to analyze the item.
    The Government uses the submitted data to determine whether or not 
the equipment meets the contract requirements in the categories of 
performance, construction, and durability. This data is placed in the 
contract file and used during the inspection of the equipment when it 
arrives on the project and when it is made operable.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 3,160.
    Responses Per Respondent: 1.5.
    Annual Responses: 4,740.
    Hours Per Response: .25.
    Total Burden Hours: 1,185.
