Flowers/IC 3090-0007, Contractor's Qualifications and Financial 
Information.
    Instructions: Please submit comments only and cite Information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    The General Services Administration will be requesting the Office 
of Management and Budget to extend information collection 3090-0007, 
concerning GSA Form 527, Contractor's Qualifications and Financial 
Information. This form is used to determine the financial capability of 
prospective contractors as to whether they meet the financial 
responsibility standards in accordance with the Federal Acquisition 
Regulation 9.103(a) and 9.104-1 and also the General Services 
Administration Acquisition Manual 509.105-1.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 2,940.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.2.
    Total Responses: 3,528.
    Hours per Response: 1.5.
    Total Burden Hours: 5,292.
    The estimated annual burden has decreased since GSA's 2012 
submission from 8,820 burden hours to 5,292 burden hours to reflect the 
widespread use of the option for potential contractors to submit 
financial statements and balance sheets in lieu of completing the 
applicable fields on GSA Form 527. The alternate submission of 
financial statements and balance sheets significantly reduces the 
burden on prospective contractors, as these documents are generally 
readily available. As such, the average estimated hours to complete a 
response has been reduced from 2.5 hours per response to 1.5 hours.
    Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the 
information collection documents from the General Services 
Administration, Regulatory Secretariat Division (MVCB), 1800 F Street 
NW., Washington, DC 20405, telephone 202-501-4755. Please cite OMB 
Control No. 3090-0007, Contractor's Qualifications and Financial 
Information (GSA Form 527), in all correspondence.
    Public Comments: Public comments are particularly invited on: 
Whether this

collection of information is necessary 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; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected.
