A. Purpose

    Supplies and services acquired under Government contracts must 
conform to the contract's quality and quantity requirements. FAR Part 
46 prescribes inspection, acceptance, warranty, and other measures 
associated with quality requirements. Standard clauses related to 
inspection require the contractor to provide and maintain an inspection 
system that is acceptable to the Government; give the Government the 
right to make inspections and test while work is in process; and 
require the contractor to keep complete, and make available to the 
Government, records of its inspection work.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 850.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Total Responses: 850.
    Hours per Response: .25.
    Total Burden hours: 213.

C. Annual Recordkeeping Burden

    Recordkeepers: 52,254.
    Hours per Recordkeeper: .68.
    Total Burden Hours: 35,533.
    Total Annual Burden: 213 + 35,533 = 35,746.
    Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the 
information collection documents from the General Services 
Administration, Regulatory Secretariat (VPR), 1800 F Street, NW., Room 
4041, Washington, DC 20405, telephone (202) 501-4755. Please cite OMB
