Abstract: The information collection is for Federal Aviation Administration’s Acquisition Management System (FAAAMS). The AMS establishes policies and internal procedures for FAA acquisition. Section 348 of Public Law 104-50 directed FAA to establish an acquisition system; Section 348 states, in part: “the Federal Aviation Administration shall develop and implement, not later than January 1, 1996, an acquisition management system for the Federal Aviation Administration that addresses the unique needs of the agency and, at a minimum, provides for more timely and cost-effective acquisitions of equipment and materials.” The information collection is necessary to solicit, award, and administer contracts for supplies, equipment, services, facilities, and real property to fulfill FAA’s mission.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Cutting Redundancy

Short Statement: For this renewal, FAA conducted thorough analysis to re-evaluate available data. This extensive, improved examination of information collection activities disclosed that overall burden is lower than previously estimated. Additionally, one information collection (IC) (Market Surveys/Requests for Information) was removed as the examination determined the IC to be non-relevant and/or redundant. It is also a possibility that the year-to-year variance in contracting activities as of a result of the COVID-19 pandemic led to atypical data points.
