C. Annual Burden

    Respondents/Recordkeepers: 4,702.
    Total Annual Responses: 9,433,560.
    Total Burden Hours: 4,662,001 (2,405,041 reporting hours + 
2,256,960 recordkeeping hours).

D. Public Comment

    A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register at 90 FR 
11970, on March 13, 2025. A comment was received; however, it did not 
change the estimate of the burden.
    Comment: The proposed collection should be reviewed in the same 
timeline of other agencies. The accuracy of the government property and 
reporting of the details and information of the case is crucial for 
record keeping purposes. Reports should be generated within each agency 
for analysis, perhaps with a certain threshold indicator on a 
continuous basis to determine significant changes in cost, to determine 
if the cost is valid or in need of revision to correct original 
documents.
    Response: Consistent with the comment, agencies manage Government 
property closely. This is a request to the Office of Management and 
Budget to extend the clearance of a previously approved information 
collection requirement regarding Government property. There are no 
program changes. The FAR requirements remain the same.
    Obtaining Copies: Requesters may obtain a copy of the information 
collection documents from the GSA Regulatory Secretariat Division by
