Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 62 / Monday, April 2, 2007 / Notices
OMB Control Number: 2900–0586.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: VAAR provision 852.211–
75, Technical Industry Standards,
requires that items offered for sale to VA
under the solicitation conform to certain
technical industry standards, such as
Underwriters Laboratory (UL) or the
National Fire Protection Association,
and that the contractor furnish evidence
to VA that the items meet that
requirement. The evidence is normally
in the form of a tag or seal affixed to the
item, such as the UL tag on an electrical
cord or a tag on a fire-rated door. This
requires no additional effort on the part
of the contractor, as the items come
from the factory with the tags already in
place, as part of the manufacturer’s
standard manufacturing operation.
Occasionally, for items not already
meeting standards or for items not
previously tested, a contractor will have
to furnish a certificate from an
acceptable laboratory certifying that the
items furnished have been tested in
accordance with, and conform to, the
specified standards. Only firms whose
products have not previously been
tested to ensure the products meet the
industry standards required under the
solicitation will be required to submit a
separate certificate. The information
will be used to ensure that the items
being purchased meet minimum safety
standards and to protect VA employees,
VA beneficiaries, and the public.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; Individuals and households; and
Not-for-profit institutions.
Estimated Annual Burden: 50 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 30 minutes.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
100.
Dated: March 20, 2007.
By direction of the Secretary.

Abstract: VAAR clause 852.211–77,

submission of the information is
voluntary, failure to provide the
information may result in rejection of
