Summary
The government agencies DoD, GSA, and NASA want to keep collecting info under Federal Acquisition rules for three more years, until 2028. They’re asking the public if this info collection is useful, clear, and not too much work. This affects businesses and folks involved in government contracts, with no new costs but a chance to improve how info is gathered.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
FAR Part 7 Info Collection Extended
The Defense Department, GSA, and NASA propose to extend OMB approval to collect information under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 7 for three additional years beyond the current July 31, 2025 expiration — i.e., through July 31, 2028. This means businesses and people involved in government contracting will continue to provide the same required information under FAR part 7 during that period, with agencies saying there are no new costs from this extension.
Opportunity to Comment on Paperwork Burden
DoD, GSA, and NASA are asking the public to comment on whether the FAR part 7 information collection is necessary, useful, and accurately estimated for burden. Businesses and contract respondents can suggest ways to improve clarity or reduce burden, including using automated collection methods.
