SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Description of the Information
Collection
1. Type of Information Collection:
Revision/Renewal of a currently
approved collection.
2. Title of the Collection—Quality
Assurance Requirements.
3. Agency form number, if any: None.
Solicitation of Public Comment
Written comments and suggestions
from the public should address one or
more of the following four points: (1)
Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) Enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
Minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
B. Purpose
Supplies and services acquired under
Government contracts must conform to
PO 00000
Frm 00026
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
28813
the contract’s quality and quantity
requirements. FAR Part 46 prescribes
inspection, acceptance, warranty, and
other measures associated with quality
requirements. Standard inspection
clauses require the contractor to provide
and maintain an inspection system that
is acceptable to the Government; give
the Government the right to make
inspections and test while work is in
process; and require the contractor to
keep complete, and make available to
the Government, records of its
inspection work. FAR clause 52.246–15,
Certificate of Conformance, is not an
inspection clause, but a requirement for
the contractor to certify that supplies or
services furnished are of the quality
specified and conform in all respects
with the contract requirements.
C. Annual Reporting Burden
1. Inspection Clauses
The FAR inspection clauses are used
for quality assurance depending on the
type of contract and the type of product
or service being provided. The
corresponding quality/inspection
systems the contractors are required to
implement have requirements for record
keeping and in some cases documenting
the quality or inspection system. These
clauses do not require the transmittal or
sending of documentation to the
Government. Instead, the Government
may review these records to confirm the
contract quality requirements are being
met. Definitive information was not
available on how often the Government
requests to see these records. The time
required to provide the records is
estimated as follows:
Respondents: 1,590.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Total Responses: 1,590.
Hours per Response: 1.
Total Burden hours: 1,590.
2. Certificate of Conformance
FAR clause 52.246–15 is used in
solicitations and contracts for supplies
or services at the discretion of the
contracting officer when it is in the
Government’s interest, small losses
would be incurred in the event of a
defect; or because of the contractor’s
reputation or past performance, it is
likely that the supplies or services
furnished will be acceptable and any
defective work would be replaced,
corrected, or repaired without contest.
The clause requires the contractor to
submit a prescribed certificate. The time
required to submit the certificate is
estimated as follows:
Respondents: 639.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Total Responses: 639.

The Government is required to
provide, in solicitations, a complete
description of the supplies to be
acquired and the packing requirements
to determine transportation (freight rate)
charges for the evaluation of offers.
Generally, the freight rate for supplies is
based on the ratings applicable to the
freight classification description
published in the National Motor Freight
Classification (for carriers) and the
Uniform Freight Classification (for rail)
PO 00000

bodies.
When the Government purchases
supplies that are new to the supply
system, nonstandard, or modifications
of previously shipped supplies, and
different freight classifications may
apply, per FAR clause 52.247–53,
offerors are requested to indicate the full
Uniform Freight Classification or
National Motor Freight Classification
description applicable to the supplies.
The Government will use these
descriptions as well as other
information available to determine the
classification description most
appropriate and advantageous to the
government.
