SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. OMB Control Number, Title, and Any Associated Form(s)

    OMB Control No. 9000-0153, Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 11 
Requirements.

B. Need and Uses

    DoD, GSA, and NASA are combining OMB Control Nos. by FAR part. This 
consolidation is expected to improve industry's ability to easily and 
efficiently identify 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 the extension of OMB Control No. 9000-
0153 and combines it with the previously approved information 
collections under OMB Control No. 9000-0043, with the new title 
``Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 11 Requirements''. Upon approval 
of this consolidated information collection, OMB Control No. 9000-0043 
will be discontinued. The burden requirements previously approved under 
the discontinued number will be covered under OMB Control No. 9000-
0153.
    This clearance covers the information that offerors or contractors 
must submit to comply with the following FAR requirements:
     FAR 52.211-7, Alternatives to Government-Unique Standards. 
This solicitation provision permits offerors to propose alternatives to 
Government-unique standards in response to Government solicitations. 
When an offeror proposes a voluntary consensus standard as an 
alternative to a Government-unique standard included in a solicitation, 
the offeror must furnish data and/or information regarding the 
alternative in sufficient detail for the Government to determine if it 
meets the Government's requirements. This provision is prescribed in 
FAR 11.107 for use when a solicitation uses Government-unique standards 
and the agency uses the transaction-based reporting method to report 
its use of voluntary consensus standards to the National Institutes of 
Standards and Technology (NIST). This provision is optional for use if 
an agency uses the categorical method to report to NIST. In accordance 
with OMB Circular A-119, Federal Participation in the Development and 
Use of Voluntary Consensus Standards and in Conformity Assessment 
Activities, and section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and 
Advancement Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-113, 15 U.S.C. 272 note), agencies 
must use voluntary consensus standards, when they exist, in lieu of 
Government-unique standards, except where inconsistent with law or 
otherwise impractical. The information collected from offerors will be 
used by Federal agencies to determine if voluntary consensus standards 
will satisfy the Government's needs for a particular solicitation.
     FAR 52.211-8, Time of Delivery; and 52.211-9, Desired and 
Required Time of Delivery. These time of delivery clauses may be used 
by contracting officers to set forth a required delivery schedule and 
to allow offerors to propose an alternative delivery schedule. 
Contracting officers use the collected information to ensure supplies 
or services are obtained in a timely manner.
