The DoD, GSA and NASA are combining
OMB Control Nos. for the FAR by FAR part. This consolidation is
expected to improve industry’s ability to easily and efficiently
identify burdens associated with a given FAR part. The review of
the information collections (IC's) by FAR part allows improved
oversight to ensure there is no redundant or unaccounted for burden
placed on industry. Lastly, combining IC's in a given FAR part is
also expected to reduce the administrative burden associated with
processing multiple IC's. This justification supports the revision
of the expiration date of OMB Control No. 9000-0048 and combines it
with the previously approved IC's under OMB Control No. 9000-0078,
with the new title “Certain Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 15
Requirements”. Upon approval of this consolidated IC, 9000-0078
will be discontinued. The burden requirements previously approved
under the discontinued number will be covered under 9000-0048. This
clearance covers the information that offerors and contractors must
submit to comply with the following FAR requirements: a. FAR
15.407-2(e), Make-or-buy programs. When prospective contractors are
required to submit proposed make-or-buy program plans for
negotiated acquisitions. b. FAR 52.215-1(c)(2)(iv), Authorized
Negotiators. This provision requires firms offering supplies or
services to the Government under negotiated solicitations to
provide the names, titles, and telephone and facsimile numbers (and
electronic addresses if available) of authorized negotiators to
assure that discussions are held with authorized individuals. c.
FAR 52.215-9, Changes or Additions to Make-or-Buy Program. This
clause requires the contractor to submit, in writing, for the
contracting officer's advance approval a notification and
justification of any proposed change in the make-or-buy program
incorporated in the contract. d. FAR 52.215-14, Integrity of Unit
Prices. This clause requires offerors and contractors under
negotiated solicitations and contracts to identify those supplies
which they will not manufacture or to which they will not
contribute significant value, if requested by the contracting
officer or when contracting without adequate price competition. e.
FAR 52.215-19, Notification of Ownership Changes. This clause
requires contractors to notify the administrative contracting
officer when the contractor becomes aware that a change in its
ownership has occurred, or is certain to occur, that could result
in changes in the valuation of its capitalized assets in the
accounting records. f. FAR 52.215-22, Limitations on Pass-Through
Charges—Identification of Subcontract Effort. This provision
requires offerors submitting a proposal for a contract, task order,
or delivery order. g. FAR 52.215-23, Limitations on Pass-Through
Charges. This clause requires contractors to provide a description
of the value added by the contractor or subcontractor, as
applicable, as related to the subcontract effort if the effort
changes from the amount identified in the proposal such that it
exceeds 70 percent of the total cost of work to be
performed.
The estimated cost per hour is
based on use of the calendar year 2024 OPM GS wage rates for the
rest of the United States. The estimated number of respondents and
annual responses were based on an annual average of FPDS award data
for the three most recent and complete years (2021 through
2023).
