    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    A. Purpose
    
        It is the Government's policy to improve environmental quality. 
    Accordingly, Executive agencies must conduct their acquisition 
    activities in a manner that will result in effective enforcement of the 
    Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401, et seq.) and the Clean Water Act (33 
    U.S.C. 1251, et seq.). The information required by the Clean Air and 
    Water Certification is used to determine a contractor's compliance with 
    these laws. A determination of noncompliance by the contracting officer 
    requires notifying the agency head or designee who, in turn, notifies 
    the Environmental Protection Agency's
    
    [[Page 44240]]
    
    (EPA) Administrator, or a designee, in writing. Government contracting 
    offices use the information to determine a firm's eligibility for award 
    of a contract and to provide information to the EPA.
    
    B. Annual Reporting Burden
    
        Public reporting burden for this collection of information is 
    estimated to average .01666 hours per response, 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, 
    83,400; responses per respondent, 20; total annual responses, 
    1,668,000; preparation hours per response, .01666; and total response 
    burden hours, 27,800.
    
    Obtaining Copies of Proposals
    
        Requester may obtain a copy of the justification from the General 
    Services Administration, FAR Secretariat (MVRS),1800 F Street, NW, Room 
    4035, Washington, DC 20405, telephone (202) 501-4755. Please cite OMB
