ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, and
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) regulations, DoD, GSA, and
NASA invite the public to comment on
a revision concerning certain Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 4
requirements.
DoD, GSA, and NASA invite
comments on: Whether the proposed

for the proper performance of the
functions of Federal Government
acquisitions, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
the accuracy of the estimate of the
burden of the proposed information
collection; ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and ways to minimize the
burden of the information collection on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
OMB has approved this information
collection for use through January 31,
2022. DoD, GSA, and NASA propose
that OMB extend its approval for use for
three additional years beyond the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. OMB Control Number, Title, and
Any Associated Form(s)
9000–0189, Certain Federal
Acquisition Regulation Part 4
Requirements.
B. Need and Uses
DoD, GSA, and NASA are combining
OMB Control Nos. for the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) by FAR
part. This consolidation is expected to
improve industry’s ability to easily and
efficiently identify burdens associated
with a given FAR part. The review of
the information collections by FAR part
allows improved oversight to ensure
there is no redundant or unaccounted
for burden placed on industry. Lastly,
combining information collections in a
given FAR part is also expected to
reduce the administrative burden
associated with processing multiple
information collections.
This justification supports the
revision of the expiration date of OMB
Control No. 9000–0189 and combines it
with the previously approved
information collections under OMB
Control Nos. 9000–0097 and 9000–0197,
with the new title ‘‘Certain Federal
Acquisition Regulation Part 4
Requirements’’. Upon approval of this
consolidated information collection,
OMB Control Nos. 9000–0097 and
9000–0197 will be discontinued. The
burden requirements previously
approved under the discontinued
numbers will be covered under OMB
Control No. 9000–0189.
