    With respect to the following collection of information, OM invites 
comments on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of OM functions, including whether 
the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of OM 
estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (3) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of

    Authority:  Under the PRA of 1995 (Public Law 104-13; 44 U.S.C.

    Title: Department of Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) 
832.202-4, Security for Government Financing.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0688.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: This request for an extension is for VAAR 832.202-4, 
Security for Government Financing. FAR subpart 32.2 authorizes the use 
of certain types of Government financing on commercial item purchases. 
41 U.S.C. 255(f) requires the Government to obtain adequate security 
for Government financing. However, FAR 32.202-4(a)(2) provides that, 
subject to agency regulations, the contracting officer may determine 
that an offeror's financial condition is adequate security. VAAR 
832.202-4, Security for Government Financing, specifies the type of 
information that the contracting officer may obtain to determine 
whether or not the offeror's financial condition constitutes adequate 
security.
    The information that is gathered under VAAR 832.202-4 will be used 
by the VA contracting officer to assess whether or not the contractor's 
overall financial condition represents adequate security to warrant 
paying the contractor in advance.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit and not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Estimated Annual Burden: VAAR 832.202-4--10 Burden Hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: VAAR 832.202-4--1 Hour.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: VAAR 832.202-4--10.

    By direction of the Secretary.
Cynthia Harvey-Pryor,
Department Clearance Officer, Office of Quality, Privacy and Risk,
