Abstract: All contractors who have completed an EPA cost reimbursement type contract will be required to submit EPA Form 1900–10. EPA Form 1900–10 summarizes all costs incurred in performance of the contract and sets forth the final indirect rates. This form is reviewed by the contracting officer to determine the final costs reimbursable to the contractor. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.216–7 states that the Government will pay only the costs determined to be allowable by the contracting officer in accordance with FAR 31.2. Furthermore, FAR 52.216–7 states that indirect cost rates shall be established for each fiscal year at the close of a contractor’s fiscal year. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:59 May 13, 2015 Jkt 235001 EPA Form 1900–10 summarizes this information for the entire contract period and provides a basis for cost review by contracting, finance, and audit personnel. In addition, FAR 4.804–5 mandates that the office administering the contract shall ensure that the costs and indirect cost rates are settled. Form Numbers: EPA Form 1900–10. Respondents/affected entities: All contractors who have completed an EPA cost reimbursement type contract. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (FAR 52.216–7). Estimated number of respondents: 5 (total). Frequency of response: Once, at the end of the contract. Total estimated burden: 32 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $3,500.65 (per year), includes $60 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 48 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This is due to the decreased number of contracts closed in the past period. Courtney Kerwin, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
