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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:30 Sep 07, 2023
Jkt 259001
solicitation provision permits offerors to
propose alternatives to Governmentunique 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 Governmentunique 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.
