SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. OMB Control Number, Title, and Any Associated Form(s)

    9000-0136, Commercial Item Acquisitions.

B. Needs and Uses

    The Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 reformed Federal 
acquisition statutes to encourage and facilitate the acquisition of 
commercial items and services by the Federal Government. Accordingly, 
DoD, NASA, and GSA amended the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to 
include streamlined/simplified procedures for the acquisition of 
commercial items. Pertinent to this information collection, FAR 
Provision 52.212-3, ``Offeror Representations and Certifications--
Commercial Items,'' was implemented to combine the multitude of 
individual provisions used in Government solicitations into a single 
provision for use in commercial acquisitions. The provision is among 
the representations and certifications that are available for 
completion in the System for Award Management (SAM).

C. Annual Burden

    Respondents: 430,324.
    Total Annual Responses: 628,273.
    Total Burden Hours: 314,137.
