SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
The General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) clause 552.238-82, Modifications (Federal Supply Schedule), which was previously titled and numbered as 552.238-81 Modifications (see 84 FR 17030 dated April 23, 2019), requires Contractors who have a GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) (also known as Federal Supply Schedule (FSS)) contract to request a contract modification by submitting information to the contracting officer. At a minimum, each contract modification request covered by this clause includes an explanation for the request and supporting information. The clause has an Alternate I and Alternate II as well.
[top] The basic clause applies to MAS contracts that are not subject to transactional data reporting and covers the following types of requests for contract modification: additional items/additional SINs, deletions, and price reductions. Alternate I is pretty much the same as the basic clause with
B. Annual Reporting Burden

C. Public Comments
A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register at 90 FR 19204 on May 6, 2025. Comments were received from one respondent; however, they did not change the estimate of the burden.
Comment on the Burden Estimate: The respondent stated that "The actual time to prepare a modification including all necessary documents is significantly higher." However the respondent didn't provide any data to support this statement or propose an alternate estimate.
Response: The need for a modification and the information provided by the contractor via eMod is specific to their request for contract modification under the GSAR clause. The information collection burden estimate reflects an average burden concerning the types of the modifications covered by the clause. As a result, the Government believes its estimate of the burden is reasonable.
Comments on the Clause Requirements: The respondent provided information about each of the clause requirements ( e.g., provided information about paragraph (b)(i) of the clause 552.238-82.
Response: GSA appreciates this helpful information. Additionally, the information reaffirms the value and use of eMod for submitting these types of modification requests.
