The collected information is necessary
to evaluate an applicant's request to purchase inventory property
and is used by the agency to determine an applicant's eligibility
to lease or purchase inventory property and to ensure payment of
the lease or purchase amount.
The number of responses
decreased by 124 and burden hours decrease by 480 hours in this
request. The number of respondents decreased by 112. While the
overall number of inventory properties on hand increased 13.5
percent from the last collection, the decrease in responses and
burden hours is due to reduction in the estimated number of
inventory properties sold. The number projected to be sold has been
revised downward to match reported sales percentages over the last
several years. Also, the travel times removed from this request
since it was no longer required.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
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
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
