SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, and 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulations, DoD, GSA, and 
NASA invite the public to comment on a revision concerning Federal 
Acquisition Regulation part 7 requirements. DoD, GSA, and NASA invite 
comments on: Whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of Federal 
Government acquisitions, including whether the information will have 
practical utility; the accuracy of the estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize 
the burden of the information collection on respondents, including the 
use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology. OMB has approved this information collection for use 
through August 31, 2022. DoD, GSA, and NASA propose that OMB extend its 
approval for use for three additional years beyond the current 
expiration date.

DATES: DoD, GSA, and NASA will consider all comments received by June 
3, 2022.

ADDRESSES: DoD, GSA, and NASA invite interested persons to submit

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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

    9000-0082, Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 7 Requirements.

B. Need and Uses

    DoD, GSA, and NASA are combining OMB Control Nos. for the Federal 
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) by FAR part. This consolidation is 
expected to improve industry's ability to easily and efficiently 
identify burdens associated with a given FAR part. The review of the 
information collections by FAR part allows improved oversight to ensure 
there is no redundant or unaccounted for burden placed on industry. 
Lastly, combining information collections in a given FAR part is also 
expected to reduce the administrative burden associated with processing 
multiple information collections.
    This justification supports the revision of OMB Control No. 9000-
0082 and combines it with the previously approved information 
collection under OMB Control No. 9000-0114, with the new title 
``Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 7 Requirements''. Upon approval 
of this consolidated information collection, OMB Control No. 9000-0114 
will be discontinued. The burden requirements previously approved under 
the discontinued number will be covered under OMB Control No. 9000-
0082.
    This clearance covers the information that offerors or contractors 
must submit to comply with the following FAR requirements:
    FAR clause 52.207-3, Right of First Refusal of Employment, requires 
contractors to provide the contracting officer, within 120 days of 
beginning contract performance, the names of personnel who were: 
Adversely affected or separated from Government employment as a result 
of the contract award; and subsequently hired by the contractor to 
perform under the contract within 90 days after contract performance 
began. The information provided under this clause is used by the 
Government to ensure: Contractor compliance with providing the right of 
first refusal to such affected personnel; and certain obligations to 
displaced employees are met by the Government.
    FAR provision 52.207-4, Economic Purchase Quantity--Supplies, 
permits offerors, who believe that acquisition of supplies in quantity 
different from what is being solicited would be more advantageous to 
the Government, to recommend with their offer a more economic purchase 
quantity for the required supplies. The information provided under this 
provision is used by the Government to acquire supplies at the total 
and unit costs most advantageous to the Government and to develop a 
database for future acquisitions of such items of supply.

C. Annual Burden

    Respondents: 14,510.
    Total Annual Responses: 14,510.
    Total Burden Hours: 14,530.
    Obtaining Copies: Requesters may obtain a copy of the information 
collection documents from the GSA
