A. Purpose

    Supplies and services acquired under Government contracts must 
conform to the contract's quality and quantity requirements. FAR Part 
46 prescribes inspection, acceptance, warranty, and other measures 
associated with quality requirements. Standard clauses related to 
inspection require the contractor to provide and maintain an inspection 
system that is acceptable to the Government; gives the Government the 
right to make inspections and test while work is in process; and 
requires the contractor to keep complete, and make available to the 
Government, records of its inspection work.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 138,292.
    Responses Per Respondent: 1.03226.
    Total Responses: 142,753.
    Hours Per Response: .83511.
    Total Burden hours: 119,214.

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
functions of the FAR, 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; 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.
