A. Purpose

    The General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) 
requires construction and building services contractors to submit a 
release of claims before final payment is made to ensure contractors 
are paid in accordance with their contract requirements and for work 
performed. GSA Form 1142, Release of Claims is used to achieve 
uniformity and consistency in the release of claims process.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 1,427.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 1,427.
    Hours per Response: 0.50.
    Total Burden Hours: 714.

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
functions of the GSAR, and whether it will have practical utility; 
whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection of 
information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and 
methodology; and ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected; and ways in which we can minimize the 
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, 
through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the 
information collection documents from the Regulatory Secretariat 
Division (MVCB), at [email protected].
    Please cite OMB Control No. 3090-0080; Release of Claims for
