The General Services Administration’s
Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) program, commonly known as the GSA
Schedules program or Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) program,
provides federal agencies with a simplified process for acquiring
commercial supplies and services.

Previous justifications for
this information collection limited the burden to the amount of
time needed for vendors to input sales data in the 72A Reporting
System and remit IFF payments. However, GSA now recognizes that
recordkeeping, quality assurance, reporting, and remittance should
be included in the burden estimates. Since recordkeeping and
quality assurance are the largest burden drivers for both vendors
and the Government, the burden estimates for both the public and
Government have increased. Additionally, the number of applicable
contracts; namely, contracts included in the Transactional Data
Reporting pilot are no longer included in this collection. Finally,
the hourly rate for the Government has been updated to use a more
current hourly rate.
