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

[[Page 83584]]

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.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 2,597,377.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Total Responses: 2,597,377.
    Hours Per Response: .40.
    Total Burden Hours: 1,038,950.

C. Public Comments

    A notice was published in the Federal Register at 85 FR 62731 on 
October 5, 2020. Two comments were received. No changes were made to 
the information collection requirements or supporting statement as a 
result of the public comments, because they were not applicable to the 
policy.
    Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the 
information collection documents from the GSA Regulatory Secretariat 
Division, by calling 202-501-4755 or emailing [email protected]. Please 
cite OMB Control No. 3090-0163, Information Specific to a Contract or 
Contracting Action (Not Required by Regulation), in all correspondence.
