SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA

Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information 
collection. The FAA Acquisition Management System establishes policies 
and internal procedures for FAA acquisition. The information collection 
is necessary to solicit, award, and administer contracts for supplies, 
equipment, services, facilities, and real property to fulfill FAA's 
mission.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted September 7, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy DePaepe at (405) 954-9362, or by

    Background: Section 348 of Public Law 104-50 directed FAA to 
establish an acquisition system. The information collection is carried 
out as an integral part of FAA's acquisition process. Various portions 
of the AMS describe information needed from vendors seeking or already 
doing business with FAA. FAA contracting offices collect the

contracts. The FAA small business office collects information to 
promote and increase small business participation in FAA contracts.

accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the
