SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
The purpose of this information collection supports the
implementation of the Secure Federal LEASEs Act (Pub. L. 116-276) to
reduce security risks in high-security leased space. Section 3 of the
bill requires agencies, before entering into a lease agreement for
high-security leased space, to require the contractor to identify the
immediate or highest-level owner of the space, including any financing
entity, and disclose whether that owner is a foreign person or entity,
including the country associated with the ownership entity.
This information collection covers GSA's implementation of the Act
through GSAR clause 552.270-33. As this information is still required,
GSA seeks to have this information collection extended for three years.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
The annual reporting burden is estimated as follows:
1. Initial Disclosure
Baseline Representation
Estimated annual responses: 542.
Estimated hours per response: 2.
Additional Representation
Estimated annual responses: 54.
Estimated hours per response: 10.
Total Initial Response Burden Hours: 1,624.
2. Annual Updates
Estimated annual responses: 542.
Estimated hours per response: 0.50.
Total Update Response Burden Hours: 271.
C. Public Comments
Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this
collection of information is necessary; whether it will have practical
utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection
of information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and
methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and ways in which we can minimize the
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond,
through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
