SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    Supplies and services acquired under Government contracts must 
conform to the contract's quality and quantity requirements. FAR Part 
46 prescribes inspection, acceptance, warranty, and other measures 
associated with quality requirements. Standard clauses related to 
inspection require the contractor to provide and maintain an inspection 
system that is acceptable to the Government; gives the Government the 
right to make inspections and test while work is in process; and 
requires the contractor to keep complete, and make available to the 
Government, records of its inspection work. A notice was published in 
the Federal Register at 81 FR 11794 on March 7, 2016. No comments were 
received.

collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
functions of the FAR, and whether it will have practical utility;
