SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
The Federal Hazardous Substance Act and Hazardous Material
Transportation Act prescribe standards for packaging of hazardous
substances. To meet the requirements of the Acts, the General Services
Administration Regulation prescribes clause 552.223-72, Hazardous
Material Information, to be inserted in solicitations and contracts
that provides for delivery of hazardous materials on an f.o.b. origin
basis. This information collection will be accomplished by means of the
clause, which requires the contractor to identify for each National
Stock Number the DOT Shipping Name, DOT Hazards Class, and whether the
item requires a DOT label. Contracting Officers and technical personnel
use the information to monitor and ensure contract requirements based
on law and regulation. Properly identified and labeled items of
hazardous material allows for appropriate handling of such items
throughout GSA's supply chain system. The information is used in GSA
warehouses, stored in an NSN database and provided to GSA customers.
Non-Collection and/or a less frequently conducted collection of the
information resulting from Clause 552.223-72 would prevent the
Government from being properly notified and prepared for arrival and
storage of items containing hazardous material. Government activities
may be hindered from

apprising their employees of; (1) All hazards to which they may be
exposed; (2) Relative symptoms and appropriate emergency treatment; and
(3) Proper conditions and precautions for safe use and exposure.
