SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    Past performance information regarding a contractor's actions under 
previously awarded contracts is relevant information for future source 
selection purposes. The information collection requirements at FAR 
15.304 and 42.15 remains the same; however, the public burden has been 
adjusted downward. The estimated responses used to calculate the burden 
is based on the availability of data on FY 2014 awards from existing 
systems (FPDS and CPARS).

    Respondents: 27,734.
    Responses per Respondent: 4.
    Annual Responses: 110,936.
    Hours per Response: 2.
    Total Burden Hours: 221,872.

b. Responses in CPARS

    Respondents: 177,396.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 177,396.

    Total Burden Hours: 354,792.
    Total Annual Burden: 576,664 Hours.

C. Public Comments

    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.
    Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the 
information collection documents from the 1800 F Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20405, telephone 202-501-4755. Please cite OMB Control
