Abstract: The Federal Hazardous Substance Act (Pub. L. 86-613) and Hazardous Material Transportation Act (Pub. L. 93-633) prescribe standards for packaging of hazardous substances. To meet the requirements of the Acts, the General Services Administration Regulation prescribes provision 552.223-72, Hazardous Material Information, to be inserted in solicitations that provides for delivery of hazardous materials on an f.o.b. origin basis. The provision requires the contractor to identify for each National Stock Number (NSN) the Department of Transportation (DOT) Shipping Name, DOT Hazards Class, and whether the item requires a DOT label.

Short Statement: The General Schedule annual and hourly amounts in Items 12 and 14 have been updated to reflect the 2024 Salary Tables, published by the Office of Personnel Management, with 36.25% fringe per OMB Memo M-08-13. The time needed to complete the response has been decreased from 40 minutes to 30 minutes per response. This information collection has been utilized for several years, without changes to the respondents; it is logical that there are efficiencies in reporting and that the response time can be reduced to 30 minutes.
