B. Needs and Uses
The information collection title is
changed to ‘‘Changes, Change Order
Accounting, and Notification of
Changes.’’ This clearance covers the
information that contractors must
submit to comply with the following
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)
part 43 requirements as stated in the
listed clauses:
a. 52.243–4, Changes. For acquisitions
exceeding the simplified acquisition
threshold for dismantling, demolition,
or removal of improvements; and
construction, under a fixed-price
contract, the contractor must assert its
right to an adjustment under this clause
within 30 days after receipt of a written
change order or the furnishing of a
written notice, by submitting to the
contracting officer a written statement
describing the general nature and
amount of proposal, unless this period
is extended by the Government. The
written notice covers any other written
or oral order (which includes direction,
instruction, interpretation, or
determination) from the contracting
officer that causes a change. The
contractor gives the contracting officer
written notice stating (1) the date,
circumstances, and source of the order
and (2) that the contractor regards the
order as a change order. The statement
of proposal for adjustment may be
included in the written notice.
b. 52.243–6, Change Order
Accounting. The contractor, for each
change or series of related changes, shall
maintain separate accounts, by job order
or other suitable accounting procedure,
of all incurred segregable, direct costs
(less allocable credits) of work, both
changed and not changed, allocable to
the change. The contractor shall
maintain these accounts until the
parties agree to an equitable adjustment
or 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

Jkt 247001
numerous changes, or construction
contracts if deemed appropriate by the
contracting officer.
c. 52.243–7, Notification of Changes.
The clause is available for use primarily
in negotiated research and development
or supply contracts for the acquisition of
major weapon systems or principal
subsystems. If the contract amount is
expected to be less than $1,000,000, the
clause shall not be used, unless the
contracting officer anticipates that
situations will arise that may result in
a contractor alleging that the
Government has effected changes other
than those identified as such in writing
and signed by the contracting officer.
The contractor shall notify the
Administrative Contracting Officer in
writing if the contractor identifies any
Government conduct (including actions,
inactions, and written or oral
communications) that the contractor
regards as a change to the contract terms
and conditions. This excludes changes
identified as such in writing and signed
by the contracting officer. On the basis
of the most accurate information
available to the contractor, the notice
shall state—
(1) The date, nature, and
circumstances of the conduct regarded
as a change;
(2) The name, function, and activity of
each Government individual and
Contractor official or employee involved
in or knowledgeable about such
conduct;
(3) The identification of any
documents and the substance of any
oral communication involved in such
conduct;
(4) In the instance of alleged
acceleration of scheduled performance
or delivery, the basis upon which it
arose;
(5) The particular elements of contract
performance for which the Contractor
may seek an equitable adjustment under
this clause, including—
(i) What line items have been or may
be affected by the alleged change;
(ii) What labor or materials or both
have been or may be added, deleted, or
wasted by the alleged change;
(iii) To the extent practicable, what
delay and disruption in the manner and
sequence of performance and effect on
continued performance have been or
may be caused by the alleged change;
(iv) What adjustments to contract
price, delivery schedule, and other
provisions affected by the alleged
change are estimated; and
(6) The Contractor’s estimate of the
time by which the Government must
respond to the Contractor’s notice to
minimize cost, delay or disruption of
performance.
