SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
This information requirement consists of information used by FAS to
evaluate vendors' offers, ordering activities when placing orders
against the contract, and other FSS vendors to conduct market research
when submitting proposals.
A request for public comments published in the Federal Register at
79 FR 54125 on September 10, 2014 as part of a proposed rule under GSAR
case 2013-G502.
Three comments were received on the Information Collection (IC).
The comments received questioned the impact and methodologies used to
calculate burden estimates. In response, GSA provided clarification
explaining the impact and the methodologies used to calculate burden
estimates. The calculated burden estimates did not change as a result
of the comments. Full responses to the inquiries are included in the
Final Rule publication.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
The Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35) does apply
because the final rule contains eight (8) clauses and provisions with
information collection requirements. However, one of the clauses does
not impose additional information collection requirements to the
paperwork burden previously approved under existing OMB Control Number.
The remaining seven (7) clauses and provisions involve information
collection requirements that have not previously been approved by OMB.
The annual total public reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to be 38,674 total hours ($1,819,998.44),
including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data
