SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    OPO wants to place an online intake Instrument on the GSA 
Ombudsman's web page for receiving inquiries from vendors who are 
currently doing business with, or interested in doing business with 
GSA. The inquiries will be collected by the GSA Ombudsman and routed to 
the appropriate office for resolution and/or implementation in the case 
of recommendations for process or program improvements. Reporting of 
the data collected will help highlight thematic issues that vendors 
encounter with GSA acquisition programs, processes or policies, and 
identify areas where training is needed. The information collected will 
also assist in identifying and analyzing patterns and trends to help 
improve efficiencies and lead to improvements in current practices.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Maximum Potential Respondents: 118.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Total Maximum Potential Annual Responses: 118.
    Hours per Response: .25.

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.
