SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
The General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR)
clause 552.238-82, Modifications (Federal Supply Schedule), which was
previously titled and numbered as 552.238-81 Modifications (see 84 FR
17030 dated April 23, 2019), requires Contractors who have a GSA
Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) (also known as Federal Supply Schedule
(FSS)) contract to request a contract modification by submitting
information to the contracting officer. At a minimum, each contract
modification request covered by this clause includes an explanation for
the request and supporting information. The clause has an Alternate I
and Alternate II as well.
The basic clause applies to MAS contracts that are not subject to
transactional data reporting and covers the following types of requests
for contract modification: additional items/additional SINs, deletions,
and price reductions. Alternate I is pretty much the same as the basic
clause with
[[Page 31667]]
exception to paragraph (e) being revised to reflect a MAS contractor
accepting eMod. Alternate II applies to MAS contracts subject to
transactional data reporting and covers the following requests for
contract modification: additional items/additional SINs and deletions.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Respondents: 8,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Total Responses: 8,00.
Hours per Response: 3.5.
Total Burden Hours: 28,000.
C. Public Comments
A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register at 90 FR
19204 on May 6, 2025. Comments were received from one respondent;
however, they did not change the estimate of the burden.
Comment on the Burden Estimate: The respondent stated that ``The
actual time to prepare a modification including all necessary documents
is significantly higher.'' However the respondent didn't provide any
data to support this statement or propose an alternate estimate.
Response: The need for a modification and the information provided
by the contractor via eMod is specific to their request for contract
modification under the GSAR clause. The information collection burden
estimate reflects an average burden concerning the types of the
modifications covered by the clause. As a result, the Government
believes its estimate of the burden is reasonable.
Comments on the Clause Requirements: The respondent provided
information about each of the clause requirements (e.g., provided
information about paragraph (b)(i) of the clause 552.238-82.
Response: GSA appreciates this helpful information. Additionally,
the information reaffirms the value and use of eMod for submitting
these types of modification requests.
Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the
information collection documents from the GSA Regulatory Secretariat
Division, by calling 202-501-4755 or emailing <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#fbbca8baa99e9ca89e98bb9c889ad59c948d"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="4b0c180a192e2c182e280b2c382a652c243d">[email protected]</span></a>. Please
