SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    Section 5 of the International Air Transportation Fair Competitive 
Practices Act of 1974 (49 U.S.C. 1517) (Fly America Act) requires that 
all Federal agencies and Government contractors and subcontractors at 
FAR 47.402, use U.S.-flag air carriers for U.S. Government-financed 
international air transportation of personnel (and their personal 
effects) or property, to the extent that service by those carriers is 
available. It requires the Comptroller General of the United States, in 
the absence of satisfactory proof of the necessity for foreign-flag air 
transportation, to disallow expenditures from funds, appropriated or 
otherwise established for the account of the United States, for 
international air transportation secured aboard a foreign-flag air 
carrier if a U.S.-flag air carrier is available to provide such 
services.
    In the event that the contractor selects a carrier other than a 
U.S.-flag air carrier for international air transportation during 
performance of the contract, the contractor shall include per FAR 
clause

[[Page 31398]]

52.247-64 a statement on vouchers involving such transportation. The 
contracting officer uses the information furnished in the statement to 
determine whether adequate justification exists for the contractor's 
use of other than a U.S.-flag air carrier.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 150.
    Responses Per Respondent: 2.
    Annual Responses: 300.
    Hours per Response: .25.
    Total Burden Hours: 75.

C. Public Comments

    A notice was published in the Federal Register at 83 FR 12949 on 
March 26, 2018. No comments were received. 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,
