SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    The Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 reformed Federal 
acquisition statutes to encourage and facilitate the acquisition of 
commercial items and services by the Federal Government. Accordingly, 
DoD, NASA, and GSA amended the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to 
include streamlined/simplified procedures for the acquisition of 
commercial items.
    Pertinent to this information collection, FAR Provision 52.212-3, 
``Offeror Representations and Certifications--Commercial Items,'' was 
implemented to combine the multitude of individual provisions used in 
Government solicitations into a single provision for use in commercial

acquisitions. The provision is among the representations and 
certifications that are available for completion in the System for 
Award Management (SAM).

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 397,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.46.
    Total Responses: 579,620.
    Hours per Response: .500.
    Total Burden Hours: 289,810.
    Frequency: On Occasion.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit 
institutions.

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 Regulations (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.
