SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. OMB Control Number, Title, and Any Associated Form(s)
9000-0135, Prospective Subcontractor Requests for Bonds.
B. Need and Uses
Part 28 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) contains
guidance related to obtaining financial protection against losses under
Federal contracts (e.g., bonds, bid guarantees, etc.). Part 52 contains
the corresponding provisions and clauses. These collectively implement
the statutory requirement for Federal contractors to furnish payment
bonds under construction contracts subject to 40 U.S.C. chapter 31,
subchapter III, Bonds.
This information collection is mandated by section 806(a)(3) of
Public Law 102-190, as amended by sections 2091 and 8105 of the Federal
Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 (10 U.S.C. 4601 note prec.) (Pub.
L. 103-335). Accordingly, the FAR clause at 52.228-12, Prospective
Subcontractor Requests for Bonds, requires prime contractors to
promptly provide a copy of a payment bond, upon the request of a
prospective subcontractor or supplier offering to furnish labor or
material under a construction contract for which a payment bond has
been furnished pursuant to 40 U.S.C. chapter 31.
C. Common Form
The General Services Administration is the sponsor agency of this
common form. All executive agencies covered by the FAR will use this
common form. Each executive agency will report their agency burden
separately, and the reported information will be available at
<a href="http://Reginfo.gov">Reginfo.gov</a>.
D. Annual Burden
General Services Administration
Respondents: 279.
Total Annual Responses: 698.

collection documents from the GSA Regulatory Secretariat Division, by
