3. Review of Compliance With Clauses The primary cost to GSA will be to review the representations required by GSAR 552.27033 and the compliance with GSAR 552.27034.
a. GSAR 552.27033, Foreign Ownership and Financing Representation for High-Security Leased Space i.

Therefore, GSA calculated the total estimated cost for this part of the rule to be $12,000 = 0.10 hours $84.16
1,471.
ii. GSA estimates that for new highsecurity lessors each year, it will take leasing acquisition members approximately 6 minutes 0.10 hours to review the representation at sections c1, d1, and e1 essentially no required disclosures required.
Therefore, GSA calculated the total estimated cost for this part of the rule to be $4,600 = 0.10 hours $84.16
