SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.,
Federal agencies must obtain approval from OMB for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. ``Collection of information'' is
defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes agency
requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports,
keep records, or provide information to a third party. The Federal
Register notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on
this collection of information was published on July 01, 2022 (87 FR
39501).
Title: Procurement Contracts (OMB Control No. 3038-0031). This is a
request for an extension of a currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: The information collected under this request is gathered
through the use of forms specific to a contract or contracting action.
The standard forms are prescribed for use for non-personal services,
construction, award of contracts and solicitations by agencies in
connection with the procurement of supplies, purchase and delivery
orders, specified in the Federal Acquisition Regulations (48 CFR 1-53).
The information provided on the forms is specific and generally does
not require additional information or questions.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.\2\ On July 1, 2022, the Commission
published in the Federal Register notice of the proposed extension of
this information collection and provided 60 days for public comment on
the proposed extension, 87 FR 39501 (``60-Day Notice''). The Commission
did not receive any relevant comments on the 60-Day Notice.
