SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    This information requirement consists of information used by FAS to 
evaluate vendors' offers, ordering activities when placing orders 
against the contract, and other FSS vendors to conduct market research 
when submitting proposals.
    A request for public comments published in the Federal Register at 
79 FR 54125 on September 10, 2014 as part of a proposed rule under GSAR 
case 2013-G502.
    Three comments were received on the Information Collection (IC). 
The comments received questioned the impact and methodologies used to 
calculate burden estimates. In response, GSA provided clarification 
explaining the impact and the methodologies used to calculate burden 
estimates. The calculated burden estimates did not change as a result 
of the comments. Full responses to the inquiries are included in the 
Final Rule publication.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    The Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35) does apply 
because the final rule contains eight (8) clauses and provisions with 
information collection requirements. However, one of the clauses does 
not impose additional information collection requirements to the 
paperwork burden previously approved under existing OMB Control Number. 
The remaining seven (7) clauses and provisions involve information 
collection requirements that have not previously been approved by OMB.
    The annual total public reporting burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to be 38,674 total hours ($1,819,998.44), 
including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data 
sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and
