AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information 
collection. The FAA Acquisition Management System establishes policies 
and internal procedures for FAA acquisition. The information collection 
is necessary to solicit, award, and administer contracts for supplies, 
equipment, services, facilities, and real property to fulfill FAA's 
mission.

DATES:  Written comments should be submitted by January 11, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ronda 
Thompson, Room 441, Federal Aviation Administration, ASP-110, 950 
L'Enfant Plaza SW., Washington, DC 20024.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the 
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the 
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d) 
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of 
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include 
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information 
collection.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ronda Thompson at (202) 267-1416, or 
by email at: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0595.
    Title: FAA Acquisition Management System (FAAAMS) Including ARRA

    Background: Section 348 of Public Law 104-50 directed FAA to 
establish an acquisition system. The information collection is carried 
out as an integral part of FAA's acquisition process. Various portions 
of the AMS describe information needed from vendors seeking or already 
doing business with FAA. FAA contracting offices collect the 
information to plan, solicit, award, administer and close individual 
contracts. The FAA small business office collects information to 
promote and increase small business participation in FAA contracts.
    Respondents: Approximately 15,298 vendors.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 7.5 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 2,000,719 hours.
