C. Annual Burden
Respondents/Recordkeepers: 4,702.

Total Burden Hours: 4,662,001 (2,405,041 reporting hours + 2,256,960 recordkeeping hours).
D. Public Comment
A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register at 90 FR 11970, on March 13, 2025. A comment was received; however, it did not change the estimate of the burden.
Comment: The proposed collection should be reviewed in the same timeline of other agencies. The accuracy of the government property and reporting of the details and information of the case is crucial for record keeping purposes. Reports should be generated within each agency for analysis, perhaps with a certain threshold indicator on a continuous basis to determine significant changes in cost, to determine if the cost is valid or in need of revision to correct original documents.
Response: Consistent with the comment, agencies manage Government property closely. This is a request to the Office of Management and Budget to extend the clearance of a previously approved information collection requirement regarding Government property. There are no program changes. The FAR requirements remain the same.
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 GSARegSec@gsa.gov. Please cite OMB Control No. 9000-0075, Government Property.
