IT-security information collection extended

The collection continues to require responses from 35 respondents, with 2 responses per respondent (70 total responses), at 5 hours per response for a total of 350 burden hours.
Contractors must follow GSA IT policies
If you are a contractor accessing information systems that support GSA operations or assets, you must comply with GSA IT security policies, specifically CIO 09-48 and CIO 12-2018. GSA states these policy compliance requirements apply to contractors accessing GSA, another agency, contractor, or other source systems.
