FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Michael O. Jackson, Procurement Analyst, Office of Governmentwide Acquisition Policy, GSA, 202–208– 4949, or email michaelo.jackson@gsa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Purpose FAR 43.205 allows a contracting officer, whenever the estimated cost of a change or series of related changes under a contract exceeds $100,000, to assert the right in the clause at FAR 52.243–6, Change Order Accounting, to require the contractor to maintain separate accounts for each change or series of related changes. Each account shall record all incurred segregable, direct costs (less allocable credits) of work, changed and unchanged, allocable to the change. These accounts are to be maintained until the parties agree to an equitable adjustment for the changes or until the matter is conclusively disposed of under the Disputes clause. This requirement is necessary in order to be able to account properly for costs associated with changes in supply and research and development contracts that are technically complex and incur numerous changes. B. Analysis of Public Comments One respondent submitted public comments on the extension of the previously approved information collection. The analysis of the public comments is summarized as follows: Comment: The commenter suggested ways to improve the utility of the Information Collection. The recommendations are designed to enhance the data collected regarding the administration of change orders. If adopted, the commenter stated the proposed changes would provide for the collection of essential data, in a more readily accessible format that can assist Executive Branch managers and facilitate the conduct of essential Congressional oversight. Response: This comment is out of scope because the commenter wants to improve the utility of the Information Collection. They did not express an opinion on whether the stated number of burden hours is out of sync with what they believe to be the actual number of hours a contractor expends to comply with the clause.
