SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

 

A. Purpose

The GSA will be requesting the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to review and approve information collection, 3090-0250, Zero Burden Information Collection Reports.

This information requirement consists of reports that do not impose collection burdens upon the public. These collections require information which is already available to the public at large or that is routinely exchanged by firms during the normal course of business. A general control number for these collections decreases the amount of paperwork generated by the approval process. Since May 10, 1992, GSA has published two rules that fall under Information Collection 3090-0250: “Implementation of Public Law 99-506” published at 56 FR 29442, June 27, 1991, and “Industrial Funding Fee” published at 62 FR 38475, July 18, 1997.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

None.

Obtaining Copies of Proposal

Requester may obtain a copy of the proposal from the General Services Administration, Acquisition Policy Division (MVP), 1800 F Street, NW., Room 4035, Washington, DC 20405, telephone [phone]. Please cite OMB Control No. 3090-0250, Zero Burden Information Collection Reports.

Chief Information Officer (I).
