SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    Under Federal contracts where equipment (e.g., pumps, fans, 
generators, chillers, etc.) is to be installed on 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, 
in accordance with the FAR clause 52.236-5, Material and Workmanship.
    The Government uses the data to determine if 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: 2.0.
    Annual Responses: 6,320.
    Hours per Response: .25.
    Total Burden Hours: 1,580.
    Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the 
information collection documents from the General Services 
Administration, Regulatory Secretariat (MVCB), 1275 First Street NE.,
