SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    Under Federal contracts requiring that equipment (e.g., pumps, 
fans, generators, chillers, etc.) be installed in a project, the 
Government must determine that the equipment meets the contract 
requirements. Therefore, the contractor must submit sufficient data on 
the particular equipment to allow the Government to analyze the item.
    The Government uses the submitted data to determine whether or not 
the equipment meets the contract requirements in the categories of 
performance, construction, and durability. This data is placed in the 
contract file and used during the inspection of the equipment when it 
arrives on the project and when it is made operable.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    The information collection requirement at FAR clause 52.236-5 has 
decreased based on information from the FY 2017 FPDS database which 
shows a lower number of estimated respondents that are subject to the 
clause.
    Respondents: 1,377.
    Responses per Respondent: 2.0.
    Annual Responses: 2,754.
    Hours per Response: .25.
    Total Burden Hours: 689.

C. Public Comments

    A notice was published in the Federal Register at 83 FR 11201 on 
March 14, 2018. No comments were received. 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
