SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. OMB Control Number, Title, and Any Associated Form(s)

    9000-0059, North Carolina Sales Tax Certification.

B. Need and Uses

    This clearance covers the information that contractors must submit 
to comply with the requirements of the Federal Acquisition Regulation 
clause at 52.229-2, North Carolina State and Local Sales and Use Tax. 
This clause requires contractors for construction or vessel repair to 
be performed in North Carolina to provide certified statements of the 
cost of the property purchased from each vendor and the amount of sales 
or use taxes paid. The North Carolina Sales and Use Tax Act authorizes 
counties and incorporated cities and towns, to obtain each year from 
the Commissioner of Revenue of the State of North Carolina, a refund of 
sales and use taxes indirectly paid on building materials, supplies, 
fixtures, and equipment that become a part of or are annexed to any 
building or structure in North Carolina. However, to substantiate a 
refund claim for sales or use taxes paid on purchases of building 
materials, supplies, fixtures, or equipment by a contractor, the 
Government must secure from the contractor certified statements setting 
forth the cost of the property purchased from each vendor and the 
amount of sales or use taxes paid. Similar certified statements by 
subcontractors must be obtained by the general contractor and furnished 
to the Government.
    The Government will use the information as evidence to establish 
exemption from State and local taxes.

C. Annual Burden

    Respondents: 182.
    Total Annual Responses: 182.
    Total Burden Hours: 227.5.
    Obtaining Copies: Requesters may obtain a copy of the information 
collection documents from the GSA Regulatory Secretariat Division by 
calling 202-501-4755 or emailing [email protected]. Please cite OMB 
Control No. 9000-0059, North Carolina Sales Tax Certification.
