Federal Acquisition Regulation
Supplement (DFARS) Part 234 and
related clause at 252.234–7002, Earned

Control Number 0704–0479.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses and other
for-profit entities.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.

Number of Respondents: 10.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 10.
Average Burden per Response: 676
hours.
Annual Response Burden Hours:
6,760.
Needs and Uses: DFARS clause
252.242–7005, Contractor Business
Systems, requires contractors to respond
to written determinations of significant
deficiencies in the contractor’s business
systems as defined in the clause. The
information contractors are required to
submit in response to findings of
significant deficiencies in their
accounting system, estimating system,
material management and accounting
system, and purchasing system has
previously been approved by the Office
of Management and Budget. This
request specifically addresses
information required by DFARS clause
252.234–7002, Earned Value
Management System, which requires
contractors to respond in writing to
initial and final determinations of
significant deficiencies in the
contractor’s earned value management
system. The requirements apply to
entities that are contractually required
to maintain an earned value
management system. DoD needs this
information to document actions to
correct significant deficiencies in
contractor business systems. DoD
contracting officers use the information
to mitigate the risk of unallowable and
unreasonable costs being charged on
government contracts.
