The Department of Defense, General Services Administration, and NASA have submitted a request to the Office of Management and Budget to review and renew an information collection requirement involving the Standard Form 28, Affidavit of Individual Surety. This form is used by agencies to gather information from individuals acting as sureties on government bonds. The information collected helps assess the acceptability of these individuals as sureties. Despite receiving a public comment suggesting changes to the form, the renewal is necessary to comply with the Paperwork Reduction Act, as the current approval expires soon.
Simple Explanation
The government is checking with experts if a form, used by people who promise to pay money if someone else doesn't, still makes sense and follows the rules.
