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.
