SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    In accordance with 31 U.S.C. 7701(c), a contractor doing business 
with a Government agency is required to furnish its Tax Identification 
Number (TIN) to that agency. Also, 31 U.S.C. 3325(d) requires the 
Government to include, with each certified voucher prepared by the 
Government payment office and submitted to a disbursing official, the 
TIN of the contractor receiving payment under the voucher. 26 U.S.C. 
6050M, as implemented in the Department of Treasury, Internal Revenue 
Service (IRS) regulations at Title 26 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR), requires heads of Federal executive agencies to 
report certain information to the IRS. 26 U.S.C. 6041 and 6041A, as 
implemented in 26 CFR, in part, requires payors, including Government 
agencies, to report to the IRS, on form 1099, payments made to certain 
contractors.
    To comply with the requirements of 31 U.S.C. 7701(c) and 3325(d), 
reporting requirements of 26 U.S.C. 6041, 6041A, and 6050M, and 
implementing regulations issued by the IRS in 26 CFR, FAR clause 
52.204-3, Taxpayer Identification, requires a potential Government 
contractor to submit, among other information, its TIN. The TIN may be 
used by the Government to collect and report on any delinquent amounts 
arising out of the contractor's relationship with the Government. A 
contractor is not required to provide its TIN on each contract in 
accordance with FAR clause 52.204-3, Taxpayer Identification, when FAR 
clause 52.204-7, Central Contractor Registration, is inserted in 
contracts. FAR clause 52.204-7 requires a potential Federal contractor 
to provide its TIN in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) system.

    Respondents: 39,428.
    Responses per Respondent: 3.

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.

information collection documents from the General Services
