SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    Government contractors that use company aircraft must maintain logs 
of flights containing specified information (e.g., destination, 
passenger name, purpose of trip, etc.). This information, as required 
by FAR 31.205-46, Travel Costs, is used to ensure that costs of owned, 
leased or chartered aircraft are properly charged against Government 
contracts and that directly associated costs of unallowable activities 
are not charged to such contracts.

    Number of Respondents: 3,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Total Responses: 3,000.
    Average Burden per Response: 6 hours.
    Total Burden Hours: 18,000.
    Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the 
information collection documents from the General Services 
Administration, Regulatory Secretariat Division (MVCB), 1275 First 
Street NE., Washington, DC 20417, telephone (202) 501-4755. Please cite
