SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    GSA has various mission responsibilities related to the acquisition 
and provision of the Federal Acquisition Service's (FAS's) Stock, 
Special Order, and Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Programs. These 
mission responsibilities generate requirements that are realized 
through the solicitation and award of various types of FAS contracts. 
Individual solicitations and resulting contracts may impose unique 
information collection and reporting requirements on contractors, not 
required by regulation, but necessary to evaluate particular program 
accomplishments and measure success in meeting program objectives.
    As such, the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation 
(GSAR) 516.506, Solicitation provision and clauses, specifically 
directs contracting officers to insert 552.216-72, Placement of Orders, 
and 552.216-73, Ordering Information, when the contract authorizes FAS 
and other activities to issue delivery or task orders. These clauses 
include information reporting requirements for Offerors to receive 
electronic orders through computer-to-computer Electronic Data 
Interchange (EDI).

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 18,590.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 18,590.
    Hours per Response: .25.
    Total Burden Hours: 4,648.

C. Public Comments

    A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register at 86 FR 
39023 on July 23, 2021. No comments were received.

Division by calling 202-501-4755 or emailing [email protected]. Please
