SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    Federal Acquisition Regulation 42.1203 and 42.1204 provide 
requirements for contractors to request novation/change of name 
agreements and supporting documents when a firm performing under 
Government contracts wishes the Government to recognize (1) a successor 
in interest to these contracts, or (2) a name change, it must submit 
certain documentation to the Government.
    Estimates are based on data available in the Federal Procurement 
Data System for fiscal years 2015 through 2017, which accounts for the 
decrease from 1,178 estimated respondents to 547 estimated respondents. 
This has resulted in the public burden hours being reduced to 1,094 
from 2,356 for the information collection.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 547.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 547.
    Hours per Response: 2.0.
    Total Burden Hours: 1,094.

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary; 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
