SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    GSA is amending the General Services Administration Acquisition 
Regulation (GSAR) to revise GSAR/GSAM clauses to address use of the 
Industrial Funding Fee (IFF) under the Multiple Award Schedules (MAS) 
Program, to reflect the current use of the Industrial Funding Fee 
including the authority to offset losses in other Federal Acquisition 
Service (FAS) programs and fund initiatives that benefit other FAS 
programs.
    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary 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; and ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 
of the information to be collected.

B. Discussion and Analysis

    One comment pertaining to the collection was received.
    Comment 1: Commenter supports the proposed change to the GSAR that 
will increase the transparency of how the IFF is used. However, felt 
that the estimated burden was understated based on the time and money 
vendors spend developing systems to track purchases and ensuring that 
reporting is accurate.
    GSA Response: Estimated burden hours already take into 
consideration the varying amount of time it can take to comply with the 
clause each quarter and is meant to represent an average across the 
entire Multiple Award Schedules Program.
    No changes were made to the collection as a result of the comment 
received.

    Respondents: 19,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 4.
    Total Responses: 76,000.
