SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the
Regulatory Secretariat will be submitting to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) a request to review and approve an extension of a
previously approved information collection requirement and the
reinstatement of GSA Form 1142, Release of Claims, regarding final
payment under construction and building services contract. GSA Form
1142 was inadvertently deleted as part of the rewrite of GSAR
regulations on Contract Financing. GSA Contracting Officers have used
this form to achieve uniformity and consistency in the release of
claims process. A notice was published in the Federal Register at 77 FR
2726, January 19, 2012. No comments were received.
Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this
collection of information is necessary and whether it will have
practical utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this
