Payment data will be collected from vendors doing business with the Federal Government. Treasury/Fiscal Service will use the information to electronically transmit payments to vendors and financial institutions.
This information collection request is being submitted for the purpose of ultimately discontinuing and re-creating as a host ICR with Fiscal Service's new control number prefix.
The number of respondents was reduced to zero as an action to transfer the collection to the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (Fiscal Service). The Financial Management Service (FMS) and the Bureau of the Public Debt (BPD) have consolidated to become the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (Fiscal Service). Information collection requests previously held separately by BPD and FMS will now be identified by a 1530 prefix.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
