purchasing system.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Number of Respondents: 1,580.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Total Responses: 1,580.
    Average Burden per Response: 25.
    Total Burden Hours: 39,500.

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
functions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (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.
