ACTION: Notice of request for comments regarding an extension to an 
existing OMB clearance.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the

previously approved information collection requirement and the 
reinstatement of GSA Form 1142, Release of Claims, regarding final 
payment under construction and building services contract. GSA Form 
1142 was inadvertently deleted as part of the rewrite of GSAR

this form to achieve uniformity and consistency in the release of 
claims process.
