SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

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.

GSA has a published rule in the Federal Register that falls under information collection 3090-0250. The rule that prescribed clause 552.238-70 “Identification of Electronic Office Equipment Providing Accessibility for the Handicapped” was published at 56 FR 29442, June 27, 1991, titled “Implementation of Public Law 99-506”, with an effective date of July 8, 1991.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

None.

C. Public Comments

Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this collection of information is necessary and 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; and ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected.

Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the information collection documents from the General Services Administration, Regulatory Secretariat Division (MVCB), 1800 F Street NW., Washington, DC 20405, telephone [phone]. Please cite OMB Control No. 3090-0250, Zero Burden Information Collection Reports, in all correspondence.
