SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) Clause 
852.211-70, Service Data Manual.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0587.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a previously approved 
collection
    Abstract: VAAR clause 852.211-70 is used when VA purchases 
technical medical equipment and devices or mechanical equipment. The 
clause requires the contractor to furnish both operator's manuals and 
maintenance/repair manuals with the equipment provided to the 
Government. This clause sets forth those requirements and sets forth 
the minimum standards those manuals must meet to be acceptable. 
Generally, this is the same operator's manual furnished with each piece 
of equipment sold to the general public and the same repair manual used 
by company technicians in repairing the company's equipment. The cost 
of the manuals is included in the contract price or listed as 
separately priced line items on the purchase order. The operator's 
manual will be used by the individual actually operating the equipment 
to ensure proper operation and cleaning. The repair manual will be used 
by VA equipment repair staff to repair the equipment. The contracting 
officer will use the information to evaluate whether or not the item 
offered meets the specification requirements.
    Affected Public: Private Sector--Business or other for-profit and 
not-for-profit institutions.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 621 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 10 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 3725.
