SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    Contractors who experience a change in ownership are required to 
provide the Government adequate and timely notice of this event, per 
the FAR clause at 52.215-19, Notification of Ownership Changes. The 
frequency of this information collection is variable, depending on 
changes in ownership.
    A notice was published in the Federal Register at 81 FR 21871 on 
April 13, 2016. Two comments were received, but were irrelevant to the 
subject matter. One was aimed at promoting a product for grass-roots 
advocacy groups. The other simply contained a greeting.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 138.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 138.
    Hours per Response: 1.5.
    Total Burden Hours: 207.

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 General Services 
Administration, Regulatory Secretariat Division (MVCB), 1800 F Street
