SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    This information collection complies with Executive Order 13126, 
Prohibition of Acquisition of Products Produced by Forced or Indentured 
Child Labor. Executive Order 13126 requires that this prohibition be 
enforced within the Federal acquisition system, including a provision 
that requires the contractor to certify to the contracting officer that 
the contractor or, in the case of an incorporated contractor, a 
responsible official of the contractor, has made a good faith effort to 
determine whether forced or indentured child labor was used to mine, 
produce, or manufacture any product furnished under the contract and 
that, on the basis of those efforts, the contractor is unaware of any 
such use of child labor.
    The information collection requirements of the Executive Order are 
evidenced via the certification requirements delineated at FAR 52.212-3 
paragraph (i), and 52.222-18.
    DoD, GSA and NASA analyzed the FY 2017 data from the System for 
Award Management (SAM) to develop the estimated burden hours for this 
information collection.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 1,104.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Total Annual Responses: 1,104.
    Hours per Response: 0.18.
    Total Burden Hours: 198.

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the FAR, including whether the information will have 
practical utility; the accuracy of the estimate of the burden of the 
information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 
clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize the 
burden of the information collection on respondents, including the use 
of automated 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
