SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    The General Services Administration will be requesting that OMB 
extend information collection 3090-0007, concerning GSA Form 527, 
Contractor's Qualifications and Financial Information. This form is 
used to determine the financial capability of prospective contractors 
as to whether they meet the financial responsibility standards in 
accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 9.103(a) and 
9.104-1 and also the General Services Administration Acquisition Manual 
(GSAM) 509.105-1(a).

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 2,542.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.2.
    Total Responses: 3,050.
    Hours per Response: 1.5.
    Total Burden Hours: 4,575.
    The estimated annual burden has decreased since GSA's 2014 
submission from 5,292 to 4,575 burden hours to reflect the continued 
use of the widespread option for potential contractors to submit 
financial statements and balance sheets in lieu of completing the 
applicable fields on GSA Form 527. The alternate submission of 
financial statements and balance sheets significantly reduces the 
burden on prospective contractors, as these documents are generally 
readily available. The average estimated hours to complete a response 
remained at the optimal rate of 1.5 hours.

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary 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. A request for public comments was 
issued in the Federal Register at 83 FR 7184, on February 20, 2018. No 
comments were received.
    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. 3090-0007, Contractor's Qualifications 
and Financial Information (GSA Form 527), in all correspondence.
