# 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.
