SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    GSA has various mission responsibilities related to the acquisition 
and provision of supplies, transportation, information technology, 
telecommunications, real property management, and disposal of real and 
personal property. These mission responsibilities generate requirements 
that are realized through the solicitation and award of public 
contracts.
    Most GSA procurement-related information collections are required 
by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) or General Services 
Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR); each clause requiring 
such a collection must be individually approved by OMB. However, some 
solicitations require contractors to submit information specific to 
that contracting action, such as information needed to evaluate offers 
(e.g. specific instructions for technical and price proposals, 
references for past performance) or data used to administer resulting 
contracts (e.g. project management plans).
    This information collection is currently associated with GSA's 
information collection requirements contained in solicitations issued 
in accordance with the Uniform Contract Format under FAR Part 14, 
Sealed Bidding (see GSAR 514.201-1); FAR Part 15, Contracting by 
Negotiation (see GSAR 552.215-73); and solicitations under FAR Part 12, 
Acquisition of Commercial Items (see GSAR 512.301). This includes 
information collection requirements found in GSA Federal Supply 
Schedule (FSS) solicitations.

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary, whether it will have practical 
utility; whether our

[[Page 62732]]

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, 
Washington, DC 20405, telephone 202-501-4755. Please cite OMB Control 
No. 3090-0163, Information Specific to a Contract or Contracting Action 
(Not Required by Regulation), in all correspondence.
