As a result of VAAR proposed rule RIN 2900-AQ38, posted to the Federal Register (85 FR 21811) on April 20, 2020, this Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) submission requests a revision to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval No. 2900-0418 for collections of information required by the Department of Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) for the following:
⢠Revise the title of the supporting statement and the relevant VAAR section from VAAR section 809.504(d), Contracting officer responsibilities, to VAAR 809.507-1, Solicitation provisions, to reflect where the current prescription for the information collection will be moved in the VAAR as a result of proposed rule RIN 2900-AQ38.
⢠Revise the title of the supporting statement and the title of VAAR section 852.209-70, Organizational Conflicts of Interest, to correctly identify 852.209-70 as a provision in lieu of a clause.
⢠Remove reference to VAAR section 809.504(d) within the supporting statement to comport with the removal of that section as a result of proposed rule RIN 2900-AQ38 to the VA Acquisition Manual.

Name of Law: Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
