SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    Presolicitation notices are used by the Government for several 
reasons, one of which is to aid prospective contractors in submitting 
proposals without undue expenditure of effort, time, and money. The 
Government also uses the presolicitation notices to control printing 
and mailing costs. The presolicitation notice response is used to 
determine the number of solicitation documents needed and to assure 
that interested offerors receive the solicitation documents. The 
responses are placed in the contract file and referred to when 
solicitation documents are ready for mailing.
    After mailing, the responses remain in the contract file and become 
a matter of record. The FAR sections affected are: 4.5; 14.205; 
15.201(c) and 36.213-2. The responses are placed in the contract file 
and referred to when solicitation documents are ready for mailing. 
After mailing, the responses remain in the

contract file and become a matter of record. FedBizOpps is an 
electronic method for publicizing contract opportunities. The number of 
presolicitation notices issued government-wide in the last 365 days (as 
of August 11, 2017) per FedBizOpps was 7952.
    We estimate that three respondents on average would reply to a 
presolicitation notice. Based on this info, we feel that the estimated 
respondents would number 23,856. We also estimate that each respondent 
on average would reply to three presolicitation notices a year. Time 
required to read and prepare information is estimated at 5 minutes per 
completion.
    The burden has increased from the one in Federal Register Notice 79 
FR 49316 dated August 20, 2014 due to the additional number of 
presolicitation notices issued by the Federal Government in FedBizOpps. 
This had the effect of expanding the number of respondents who would be 
affected by the collection.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 16,699.
    Responses per Respondent: 3.
    Annual Responses: 50,097.
    Hours per Response: .08.
    Total Burden Hours: 4,008.

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.
    Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the 
information collection documents from the General Services 
Administration, Regulatory Secretariat Division (MVCB), 1800 F Street 
NW., Washington, DC 20405, telephone 202-501-4755. Please cite OMB 
Control No. 9000-0037, Presolicitation Notice and Response, in all
