DOT's procurement activities are approved under the Paperwork Reductio Act through March 31, 1984. These information collections must be resubmitted for OMB review by February 1, 1984, together with purchase orders, which were not addressed in the current submission. At least two separate packages must be prepared. One should cover all solicitation and contract unique collections which are not quoted directly from the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) or DOT's FAR supplement. This submission must provide a detailed description of DOT's process for reviewing and approving information collections in procurement solicitations and contracts including written procedures, criteria for review, delegations and lines of authority. The second package should address all information collection requirements in DOT' FAR supplement which differ--whether in language or content--from the text of the FAR itself. This FAR supplement package must describe all such requirements and identify associated budens by category or subjec matter. For each paragraph, subpart, part, or subject in DOT's FAR supplement that consists of more than a simple citation to the FAR, the justification statement must explain the need for additional or separate language or requirements beyond that contained in the FAR itself.
