SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    The Federal Hazardous Substance Act and Hazardous Material 
Transportation Act prescribe standards for packaging of hazardous 
substances. To meet the requirements of the Acts, the General Services 
Administration Regulation prescribes provision 552.223-72, Hazardous 
Material Information, to be inserted in solicitations and contracts 
that provides for delivery of hazardous materials on a Free On Board 
(FOB) origin basis.
    This information collection will be accomplished by means of the 
provision which requires the contractor to identify for each National 
Stock Number (NSN), the DOT Shipping Name, Department of Transportation 
(DOT) Hazards Class, and whether the item requires a DOT label. 
Contracting Officers and technical personnel use the information to 
monitor and ensure contract requirements based on law and regulation.
    Properly identified and labeled items of hazardous material allows 
for appropriate handling of such items throughout GSA's supply chain 
system. The information is used by GSA, stored in an NSN database and 
provided to GSA customers. Non-Collection and/or a less frequently 
conducted collection of the information resulting from GSAR provision 
552.223-72 would prevent the Government from being properly notified. 
Government activities may be hindered from apprising their employees 
of; (1) All hazards to which they may be exposed; (2) Relative symptoms 
and appropriate emergency treatment; and (3) Proper conditions and 
precautions for safe use and exposure.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 563.
    Responses per Respondent: 3.
    Total Responses: 1,689.
    Hours per Response: .67.
    Total Burden Hours: 1111.

C. Public Comments

    A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register at 83 FR 32296 on 
July 12, 2018. No comments were received. Public comments are 
particularly invited on: Whether this collection of information is 
necessary, 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, 1800 F Street NW, 
Washington, DC 20405, telephone 202-501-4755. Please cite OMB Control
