SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
A. Purpose
The objective of this information
collection, for the examination of
records by Comptroller General and
contract audit, is to require contractors
to maintain certain records and to
ensure the Comptroller General and/or
agency have access to, and the right to,
examine and audit records, which
includes: books, documents, accounting
procedures and practices, and other
data, regardless of type and regardless of
whether such items are in written form,
in the form of computer data, or in any
other form, for a period of three years
after final payment. This information is
necessary for examination and audit of
contract surveillance, verification of
contract pricing, and to provide
reimbursement of contractor costs,
where applicable. The records retention
period is required by the statutory
authorities at 10 U.S.C. 2313, 41 U.S.C.
254, and 10 U.S.C. 2306, and are
implemented through the following
clauses: Audit and Records—
Negotiation clause, 52.215–2; Contract
Terms and Conditions Required to
Implement Statutes or Executive
Orders—Commercial Items clause,
52.212–5; and Audit and Records—
Sealed Bidding clause, 52.214–26. This
information collection does not require
contractors to create or maintain any
records that the contractor does not
normally maintain in its usual course of
business.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
For this information collection
requirement, data from Fiscal Year (FY)
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:47 Feb 13, 2014
Jkt 232001
2012 was retrieved from the Federal
Procurement Data System—Next
Generation (FPDS–NG).
The parameters for this information
collection were based on the
prescription from each of the applicable
clauses. Resulting from a thorough
review of each clause prescription, it
was determined that the type of
contracts associated with this
information collection are: Negotiated
awards over the simplified acquisition
threshold (SAT) using commercial
procedures; Negotiated awards over the
SAT using other than commercial
procedures; and, Sealed bid awards over
$700,000. For negotiated awards over
the SAT using commercial procedures,
FPDS–NG shows 18,709 contracts (7,797
of those were awarded to unique
vendors). For negotiated awards over
the SAT using other than commercial
procedures, FPDS–NG shows 14,085
contracts (6,731 of those were awarded
to unique vendors). For sealed bid
awards over $700,000, FPDS–NG shows
1,602 contracts (809 of those were
awarded to unique vendors). This
equates to a total of 34,396 total actions
and a total of 15,337 unique vendors
after you drill down the 34,396 actions
looking only for the unique Data
Universal Numbering System (DUNS)
number. The 15,337 actions will be used
as the number of estimated respondents
per year. It is estimated that the number
or responses per respondent is ten. This
is derived by dividing the number of
contract actions by the number of
unique vendors (2.2 contracts), plus an
average of three subcontracts per
contract (considering the applicable
clauses flows down to subcontractors).
It is further estimated that the time
required to read and prepare a response
is 60 minutes.
Respondents: 15,337.
Responses per Respondent: 10.
Total Number of Responses: 153,370.
Hours per Response: 1.0.
Total Burden Hours: 153,370.
The 153,370 burden hours represent a
significant increase over the 63,934
hours that was published in the
information collection notice in the
Federal Register at 75 FR 10268 on
March 5, 2010, due to the increase in
the estimated hours per response, by
fifty minutes, from ten minutes to 1
hour.
C. Public Comments
Public comments are particularly
invited on: Whether this collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of functions of the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and
whether it will have practical utility;
whether our estimate of the public
