In order to qualify as a surety on a Government bond, the individual

sureties for Government bonds. We are not aware if other formats exist
for the collection of this information.
The information on SF 28 will be used to assist the contracting
officer in determining the acceptability of individuals proposed as
sureties.

estimated to average .4 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. Send comments regarding this burden estimate
or any other aspect of this collection of information, including
suggestions for reducing this burden, to General Services
