SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    The Federal Hazardous Substance Act and Hazardous Material 
Transportation Act prescribe standards for packaging of hazardous 
substances. To meet the requirements of the Acts, the General Services 
Administration Regulation prescribes provision 552.223-72, Hazardous 
Material Information, to be inserted in solicitations and contracts 
that provides for delivery of hazardous materials on a Free On Board 
(FOB) origin basis.
    This information collection will be accomplished by means of the 
provision which requires the contractor to identify for each National 
Stock Number (NSN), the DOT Shipping Name, Department of Transportation 
(DOT) Hazards Class, and whether the item requires a DOT label. 
Contracting Officers and technical

[[Page 54198]]

personnel use the information to monitor and ensure contract 
requirements based on law and regulation.
    Properly identified and labeled items of hazardous material allows 
for appropriate handling of such items throughout GSA's supply chain 
system. The information is used by GSA, stored in an NSN database and 
provided to GSA customers. Non-Collection and/or a less frequently 
conducted collection of the information resulting from GSAR provision 
552.223-72 would prevent the Government from being properly notified. 
Government activities may be hindered from apprising their employees 
of; (1) All hazards to which they may be exposed; (2) Relative symptoms 
and appropriate emergency treatment; and (3) Proper conditions and 
precautions for safe use and exposure.
