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
