D. Public Comment

A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register at 90 FR 15465, on April 11, 2025. A comment was received; however, it did not change the estimate of the burden.

Comment: The respondent expressed the following: “This collection should not be renewed based on an improper implementation upon setup. This also should not be considered based on the significant legal impact for the initial contract. This is important to address for the noncompliant agreement in place and the taxpayer dollars utilized over the years.”

Response: The respondents' input is appreciated. Any changes to the collection of information on extraordinary contractual action requests will require rulemaking.
