This date does not indicate that the form expires on 8/31/2022. This OMB control number is required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). This provides the clearance/approval for the FAR to collect the information required in the SF. In accordance with the PRA, the FAR Council must request an extension for the information collection every three years. The FAR Council recently received approval for an extension by OMB, and the expiration date on the forms will be updated to 8/31/2025. In short, the forms you are using do not expire. All the forms associated with this OMB control number will be updated with the revised expiration date of the OMB clearance. In the meantime, please continue using the forms as posted in the GSA library.
