On behalf of the National Association of Surety Bond Producers (NASBP), a national trade association of professional surety bond producers, representing over 5,000 personnel who specialize in surety bonding, issuing bid, payment and performance bonds for the Nation’s construction projects, I am writing you to express our recommendation that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approve an extension to the current information collection requirement which provides that, in order to qualify as a surety, individuals wish to so serve must complete and furnish contracting officers with Standard Form 28, Affidavit of Individual Surety. NASBP also wishes to furnish suggestions for the purpose of enhancing the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected through the use of Standard From 28 (SF 28).
