Metropolis Drive, Austin, TX 78744.
The sessions are closed to the public

relating to improving and enhancing
VA’s efforts to identify, prevent, and
mitigate fraud, waste, and abuse across
VA in order to improve the integrity of
VA’s payments and the efficiency of its
programs and activities.
The agenda will include detailed
discussion of data analytics relating to
VA’s Office of Community Care, Office
of Inspector General, claims processing
system, and Treasury Partnership.
During the closed meeting the
Committee will discuss VA beneficiary
and patient information in which there
is a clear unwarranted invasion of the
Veteran or beneficiary privacy.

meeting, please contact Ms. Tamika

Abstract: This request for an
extension is for VAAR 832.202–4,
Security for Government Financing.
FAR subpart 32.2 authorizes the use of
certain types of Government financing
on commercial item purchases. 41
U.S.C. 255(f) requires the Government to
obtain adequate security for
Government financing. However, FAR
32.202–4(a)(2) provides that, subject to
agency regulations, the contracting
officer may determine that an offeror’s
financial condition is adequate security.
VAAR 832.202–4, Security for
Government Financing, specifies the
type of information that the contracting
officer may obtain to determine whether
or not the offeror’s financial condition
constitutes adequate security.
The information that is gathered
under VAAR 832.202–4 will be used by
the VA contracting officer to assess
whether or not the contractor’s overall
financial condition represents adequate
security to warrant paying the
contractor in advance.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on this collection
of information was published at Volume
83, No. 7, January 10, 2018, pages 1286.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit and not-for-profit institutions.
Estimated Annual Burden: VAAR
832.202–4—10 Burden Hours.
Estimated Average Burden Per
Respondent: VAAR 832.202–4—1 Hour.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
VAAR 832.202–4 —10.
By direction of the Secretary.
