SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    This request covers the collection of information as a first step 
under Public Law 85-804, as amended by Public Law 93-155 and Executive 
Order 10789 dated November 14, 1958, that allows contracts to be 
entered into, amended, or modified in order to facilitate national 
defense. In order for a firm to be granted relief under the Act, 
specific evidence must be submitted which supports the firm's assertion 
that relief is appropriate and that the matter cannot be disposed of 
under the terms of the contract.
    The information is used by the Government to determine if relief 
can be granted under the Act and to determine the appropriate type and 
amount of relief.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Public reporting burden for this collection of information is 
estimated to average 16 hours per completion, including the time for 
reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and 
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the 
collection of information. The annual reporting burden is estimated as 
follows: Respondents, 100; responses per respondent, 1; total annual 
responses, 100; preparation hours per response, 16; and total response 
burden hours, 1,600.
