exercise of improper influence. By way of this representation,

used such an arrangement to obtain the contract.
The information is used by Government Contracting Officers to
determine the appropriateness of awarding a contract to the submitting
firm.

estimated to average .33 hours per response, including the time for

maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate
or any other aspect of this collection of information, including
suggestions for reducing this burden, to General Services
Administration, FAR Secretariat, 18th & F Streets, NW, Room 4037,

8,333.
