SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. OMB Control Number, Title, and Any Associated Form(s)

    9000-0059, North Carolina Sales Tax Certification.

B. Need and Uses

    This clearance covers the information that contractors must submit 
to comply with the requirements of the Federal Acquisition Regulation 
clause at 52.229-2, North Carolina State and Local Sales and Use Tax. 
This clause requires contractors for construction or vessel repair to 
be performed in North Carolina to provide certified statements setting 
forth the cost of the property purchased from each vendor and the 
amount of sales or use taxes paid. The North Carolina Sales and Use Tax 
Act authorizes counties and incorporated cities and towns, to obtain 
each year from the Commissioner of Revenue of the State of North 
Carolina, a refund of sales and use taxes indirectly paid on building 
materials, supplies, fixtures, and equipment that become a part of or 
are annexed to any building or structure in North Carolina. However, to 
substantiate a refund claim for sales or use taxes paid on purchases of 
building materials, supplies, fixtures, or equipment by a contractor, 
the Government must secure from the contractor certified statements 
setting forth the cost of the property purchased from each vendor and 
the amount of sales or use taxes paid. Similar certified statements by 
subcontractors must be obtained by the general contractor and furnished 
to the Government.
    The Government will use the information as evidence to establish 
exemption from State and local taxes.

C. Annual Burden

    Respondents: 213.
    Total Annual Responses: 213.
    Total Burden Hours: 266.25.
