Notice; request for comments.
Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Regulatory Secretariat Division is submitting a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to review and approve an extension of a previously approved information collection requirement regarding OMB Control No. 3090-0306, Transactional Data Reporting.
Submit comments on or before: January 16, 2026.
Written comments and recommendations for this information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information collection by selecting “Currently under Review—Open for Public Comments” or by using the search function.
Mr. Thomas O'Linn, Procurement Analyst, General Services Acquisition Policy, Division, GSA, 202-445-0390 or email gsarpolicy@gsa.gov.
This information collection is for GSA Federal Supply Schedules (FSS) and non-FSS offerors and contractors subject to transactional data report (TDR) requirements. Transactional data encompasses the historical details of the products or services delivered by a contractor during the performance of task or delivery orders issued against a contract subject to TDR requirements. TDR requirements are found within Alternate I of General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) clause 552.238-80, Industrial Funding Fee and Sales Reporting; 552.216-75, Transactional Data Reporting; Alternate I of 552.238-81, Price Reductions; 552.238-83 Examination of Records by GSA; 552.238-85, Contractor's Billing Responsibilities; and 552.238-120, Economic Price Adjustment—Federal Supply Schedule Contracts. This information collection does not apply to GSA FSS offerors and contractors subject to pricing disclosures and sales reporting requirements. The burden associated with pricing disclosures and sales reporting requirements is covered under information collection OMB control number 3090-0235, Federal Supply Schedule Pricing Disclosures and Sales Reporting.
The total estimated annual public cost burden and total estimated annual public burden hours for this information collection is estimated to be:
| Year 1 | Years 2 & 3 |
|---|---|
| $121,766,340 Cost 1,553,495 hour | $69,731,624 Cost 1,044,217 hours |
The reason Year 1 numbers are higher than Years 2 & 3 numbers is due to the transition of existing FSS non-TDR contracts to TDR during Year 1 of this renewal period.
These estimates are calculated by adding up the total estimated annual burden cost/hour for each of the GSAR clauses covered by this information collection. Additionally, these estimates take into account the following impacts:
1. During the renewal period of this information collection, all FSS offerors and contractors will fall under TDR ( i.e., FSS offerors and contractors will no longer be subject to the aforementioned pricing disclosures and sales reporting requirements). The transition to TDR is based on Class Deviation CD-2025-13, Revised Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) Requirements for the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Program, which was issued on June 26, 2025. The class deviation (CD) amends the GSAR to remove certain pricing disclosures and sales reporting requirements and makes TDR requirements mandatory for the FSS program. As a result of this CD,
a. The FSS solicitation will be amended to remove pricing disclosures and sales reporting requirements.
b. Existing FSS contractors will need to transition to TDR. GSA anticipates the transition to be completed by the end of Year 1 of this renewal period.
2. Alternate I of GSAR clause 552.216-70, Economic Price Adjustment—FSS Multiple Award Schedule Contract, was replaced by GSAR clause 552.238-120, Economic Price Adjustment—Federal Supply Schedule Contracts. This new clause is less burdensome than the prior clause and provides more flexibility.
The following provides the basis for calculating the burden cost/hour for GSA clauses 552.216-75, and Alternate ( printed page 58561) I of GSAR clause 552.238-80. These calculations account for the aforementioned transition to TDR during this renewal period.
Initial Setup:
○ Estimated hourly rate & job position equivalency. The estimated hourly cost associated with this task is based on the task being accomplished by senior level personnel equivalent to a GS-14, Step 5 employee. A GS-14, Step 5 employee hourly rate for 2025 is $92.15 (“Rest of U.S.” locality using OPM Salary Table 2025-RUS, Effective January 2025).
○ Estimated hours by system for initial set-up. A contractor complying with TDR requirements will absorb a one-time setup burden for purposes of establishing a reporting system ( i.e., automated reporting system vs. manual reporting system). The estimated setup time varies between automated and manual reporting systems. GSA estimates the average one-time initial setup burden is 10 hours for a manual system and 245 hours for an automated system.
Monthly Reporting:
○ Estimated hourly rate & job position equivalency. The estimated hourly cost associated with this task is based on the task being accomplished by mid-level personnel equivalent to a GS-12, Step 5 employee. A GS-12, Step 5 employee hourly rate for 2022 is $65.58 ( i.e., using “Rest of U.S.” locality within the OPM Salary Table for 2022-RUS, Effective January 2025).
○ Categorization of contractors by sales revenue. GSA estimates the likelihood of contractors with lower to no reportable sales will spend relatively little time on reporting. In contrast, contractors with more reportable sales will face a higher reporting burden. To account for this difference, GSA is using the below sales revenue categories:
Category 1: No sales activity/revenue ( i.e., $0.00)
Category 2: Sales between $0.01 and $25,000.00
Category 3: Sales between $25,000.01 and $250,000.00
Category 4: Sales between $250,000.01 and $1 million
Category 5: Sales over $1 million
○ Automated system vs. manual reporting system. GSA estimates the likelihood of a contractor creating an automated reporting system increases with a contractor's sales revenue. In contrast, contractors with little to no sales revenue are unlikely to expend the effort needed to establish an automated reporting system. To account for this difference, GSA is using the below table. The below table shows by sales revenue category the estimated percentage of the likelihood of a contractor using a manual reporting system vs automated reporting system:
| Sales revenue category | Manual system (%) | Automated system (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Category 1 | 100 | 0 |
| Category 2 | 100 | 0 |
| Category 3 | 90 | 10 |
| Category 4 | 50 | 50 |
| Category 5 | 10 | 90 |
○ Estimated monthly reporting time (hours)—by reporting system and sales revenue category. GSA estimates that the monthly reporting time varies by type of reporting system ( i.e., manual or automated) and by respective sales revenue category. The below table shows GSA's estimated monthly reporting times per sales revenue category and system type:
| Manual systems | Automated systems | |
|---|---|---|
| Category 1 | 0.5 | 2.00 |
| Category 2 | 2.5 | 2.5 |
| Category 3 | 5 | 3 |
| Category 4 | 18 | 4 |
| Category 5 | 50 | 5 |

The total estimated burden (hours/cost) for the remaining clauses covered by this information collection are as follows. These calculations account for the aforementioned transition to TDR during this renewal period as well.

552.238-85, Contractor's Billing Responsibilities, is 0 burden hours/$0.00 burden cost for Years 1 through 3. The reason for zero burden being associated with this clause is because the record keeping requirement contained in this clause does not add any additional burden to what is already captured by Alternate I of GSAR clause 552.238-80, which is covered by this information collection.
** The estimated cost per hour is based on the task being accomplished by personnel equivalent to a GS-14, Step 5. A GSA-14, Step 5 employee hourly rate for 2025 is $92.15.
A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register at 90 FR 47308 on October 1, 2025. One comment was received; however, the comment did not change the estimate of the burden. The respondents' comment supports the importance of the information collection and included information about an automated solution for purposes of assisting contractors with reporting. The respondents' input is appreciated.
