SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
The Affidavit of Individual Surety SF 28 is used by all executive
agencies, including the Department of Defense, to obtain information
from individuals wishing to serve as sureties to Government bonds. To
qualify as a surety on a Government bond, the individual must show a
net worth not less than the penal amount of the bond on the SF 28. It
is an elective decision on the part of the maker to use individual
sureties instead of other available sources of surety or sureties for
Government bonds. We are not aware if other formats exist for the
collection of this information.
The information on SF 28 is used to assist the contracting officer
in determining the acceptability of individuals proposed as sureties.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Based on a comprehensive reassessment performed, this information
collection resulted in no change in the total burden hours from the
previous information collection that was published in the Federal
Register at 76 FR 60050 on September 28, 2011. The previous assessment
performed resulted in a change to the ``Response per Respondent'' and
``Hours per Response'' categories. The 1.43, responses per respondent,
was lowered to 1. to adequately reflect this category. A respondent has
to respond completely not partially when submitting this form. The
``Hours per Response'' category was been decreased to .3 (18 minutes)
from .4 (24 minutes) to reflect the benefits of being able to submit
the required information electronically, as respondents no longer have
to print and physically mail forms.
Respondents: 500.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Total Responses: 500.
Hours per Response: 0.3.
Total Burden Hours: 150.
Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the
information collection documents from the General Services
Administration, Regulatory Secretariat Division (MVCB), 1800 F Street
NW., Washington, DC 20405, telephone 202-501-4755. Please cite OMB
Control No. 9000-0001, SF 28, Affidavit of Individual Surety, in all
correspondence.
