Jkt 247001
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)
filed with Federal and State regulatory
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.

B. Needs and Uses
DoD, GSA, and NASA are in the
process of combining OMB control
numbers for the Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR) by FAR part. This
consolidation is expected to improve
industry’s ability to easily and
efficiently identify all burdens
associated with a given FAR part. The
review of the information collections by
FAR part allows improved oversight to
ensure there is no redundant or
unaccounted for burden placed on
industry. Lastly, combining information
collections in a given FAR part is also
expected to reduce the administrative
burden associated with processing
multiple information collections.
This justification supports revision
and extension of the expiration date of
OMB control number 9000–0078 and
combines it with the previously
approved information collections OMB
control numbers 9000–0115 and 9000–
0173, with the new title ‘‘Certain
Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 15
Requirements’’. Upon approval of this
consolidated information collection,
OMB control numbers 9000–0115 and
9000–0173 will be discontinued. The
burden requirements previously
approved under the discontinued
numbers will be covered under OMB
control number 9000–0078.
This clearance covers the information
that offerors/contractors must submit to
comply with the following FAR
requirements:
1. 15.407–2(e), Make-or-buy programs.
When prospective contractors are
required to submit proposed make-orbuy program plans for negotiated
acquisitions, paragraph (e) requires the

following information in their proposal:
A description of each major item or
work effort; categorization of each major
item or work effort as ‘‘must make,’’
‘‘must buy, or ‘‘can either make or buy;’’
for each item or work effort categorized
as ‘‘can either make or buy,’’ a proposal
either to ‘‘make’’ or to ‘‘buy;’’ reasons
for categorizing items and work efforts
as ‘‘must make’’ or ‘‘must buy,’’ and
proposing to ‘‘make’’ or to ‘‘buy’’ those
categorized as ‘‘can either make or buy;’’
designation of the plant or division
proposed to make each item or perform
each work effort, and a statement as to
whether the existing or proposed new
facility is in or near a labor surplus area;
identification of proposed
subcontractors, if known, and their
location and size status; any
recommendations to defer make-or-buy
decisions when categorization of some
items or work efforts is impracticable at
the time of submission; and any other
information the contracting officer
requires in order to evaluate the
program.
2. 52.215–9, Changes or Additions to
Make-or-Buy Program. This clause
requires the contractor to submit, in
writing, for the contracting officer’s
advance approval a notification and
justification of any proposed change in
the make-or-buy program incorporated
in the contract.
3. 52.215–19, Notification of
Ownership Changes. This clause
requires contractors to notify the
administrative contracting officer when
the contractor becomes aware that a
change in its ownership has occurred, or
is certain to occur, that could result in
changes in the valuation of its
capitalized assets in the accounting
records. Notice of changes of ownership
are necessary to adequately administer
the cost principle at FAR 31.205–52,
Asset valuations, which addresses the
allowability of certain costs resulting
from asset valuations following business
combinations.
4. 52.215–22, Limitations on PassThrough Charges—Identification of
Subcontract Effort. This provision
requires offerors submitting a proposal
for a contract, task order, or delivery
order to provide the following
information with their proposal: (1) The
total cost of the work to be performed
by the offeror, and the total cost of the
work to be performed by each
subcontractor; (2) if the offeror intends
to subcontract more than 70 percent of
the total cost of work to be performed,
the amount of the offeror’s indirect costs
and profit/fee applicable to the work to

the total cost of work to be performed
the amount of the subcontractor’s
indirect costs and profit/fee applicable
to the work to be performed by the
lower-tier subcontractor(s), and a
description of the added value provided
by the subcontractor as related to the
work to be performed by the lower-tier
subcontractor(s).
5. 52.215–23, Limitations on PassThrough Charges. This clause requires
contractors to provide a description of
the value added by the contractor or

the previously approved information collections OMB control numbers
9000-0115 and 9000-0173, with the new title ``Certain Federal
Acquisition Regulation Part 15 Requirements''. Upon approval of this
consolidated information collection, OMB control numbers 9000-0115 and
9000-0173 will be discontinued. The burden requirements previously
approved under the discontinued numbers will be covered under OMB
control number 9000-0078.
This clearance covers the information that offerors/contractors
must submit to comply with the following FAR requirements:
1. 15.407-2(e), Make-or-buy programs. When prospective contractors
are required to submit proposed make-or-buy program plans for
negotiated acquisitions, paragraph (e) requires the following

``make'' or to ``buy'' those categorized as ``can either make or buy;''
designation of the plant or division proposed to make each item or
perform each work effort, and a statement as to whether the existing or
proposed new facility is in or near a labor surplus area;
identification of proposed subcontractors, if known, and their location
and size status; any recommendations to defer make-or-buy decisions
when categorization of some items or work efforts is impracticable at
the time of submission; and any other information the contracting
officer requires in order to evaluate the program.
2. 52.215-9, Changes or Additions to Make-or-Buy Program. This
clause requires the contractor to submit, in writing, for the
contracting officer's advance approval a notification and justification
of any proposed change in the make-or-buy program incorporated in the
contract.
3. 52.215-19, Notification of Ownership Changes. This clause
requires contractors to notify the administrative contracting officer
when the contractor becomes aware that a change in its ownership has
occurred, or is certain to occur, that could result in changes in the
valuation of its capitalized assets in the accounting records. Notice
of changes of ownership are necessary to adequately administer the cost
principle at FAR 31.205-52, Asset valuations, which addresses the
allowability of certain costs resulting from asset valuations following
business combinations.
4. 52.215-22, Limitations on Pass-Through Charges--Identification
of Subcontract Effort. This provision requires offerors submitting a
proposal for a contract, task order, or delivery order to provide the
following information with their proposal: (1) The total cost of the
work to be performed by the offeror, and the total cost of the work to
be performed by each subcontractor; (2) if the offeror intends to
