On April 1, 1996, the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), under authority of section 348 of Public Law
104-50, implemented a new acquisition management system unique to
FAA. The agency must ensure that the system has an all around
benefit for both the Government and industry. Rather than operating
on conjecture, the agency is seeking direct effectiveness
information from industry.

with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
