SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Gross Collection of ExchangeSet Margins for Omnibus Accounts
(OMB Control No. 3038–0026). This is
a request for extension of a currently
approved information collection.
Abstract: Commission Regulation 1.58
requires futures commission merchants
to collect exchange-set margin for
omnibus accounts on a gross, rather
than a net, basis. The regulation
provides that the carrying FCM need not
collect margin for positions traded by a
person through an omnibus account in
excess of the amount that would be
required if the same person, instead of
trading through an omnibus account,
maintained its own account with the
carrying FCM. To prevent abuse of this
exception to the regulation, a carrying
FCM must maintain a written
representation from the originating FCM
or foreign broker that the particular
positions held in the omnibus account
are part of a hedge or spread transaction.
This collection of information is
necessary in order to provide
documentation that can be inspected
with regard to questions of proper
compliance with gross margining
requirements. This rule is promulgated
pursuant to the Commission’s
rulemaking authority contained in
Sections 4c, 4d, 4f, 4g and 8a of the
Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 6c,
6d, 6f, 6g and 12a.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The Federal Register
notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on this collection
of information was published on
November 17, 2023 (88 FR 80284) (‘‘60Day Notice’’). The Commission did not
receive any relevant comments on the
60-Day Notice.
Burden Statement: The Commission
is revising its estimate of the burden due
to the reduced number of futures
commission merchants in the industry.
The respondent burden for this
collection is estimated to be as follows:
Respondents/Affected Entities: 52.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
208.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 17 hours.
Frequency of collection: On occasion.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

There are no capital costs or operating
and maintenance costs associated with
this collection.

AGENCY:
In compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, DoD
announces the proposed extension of a
public information collection
requirement and seeks public comment
on the provisions thereof. DoD invites
comments on: whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of DoD, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
the accuracy of DoD’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed information
collection; ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and ways to minimize the
burden of the information collection on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has approved this information
collection for use under Control Number
0704–0483 through May 31, 2024. DoD
proposes that OMB approve an
extension of the information collection
requirement, to expire three years after
the approval date.

independent research and development
(IR&D) projects to the Defense Technical
Information Center (DTIC) using DTIC’s
online IR&D database. The inputs must
be updated at least annually and when
the project is completed. The data
provide in-process information on IR&D
projects for which DoD reimburses the
contractor as an allowable indirect
expense. In addition to improving DoD’s
ability to determine whether contractor
IR&D costs are allowable, the data
provide visibility into the technical
content of industry IR&D activities to
meet DoD needs.

Jkt 262001
Needs and Uses: DFARS part 217
prescribes policies and procedures for
acquiring supplies and services by
special contracting methods.
Contracting officers use the required
information as follows:
DFARS 217.7004(a)—When
solicitations permit the exchange (or
trade-in) of personal property and
application of the exchange allowance
to the acquisition of similar property,
offerors must provide the prices for the
new items being acquired both with and
without any exchange. Contracting
officers use the information to make an
informed decision regarding the
reasonableness of the prices for both the
new and trade-in items.
DFARS 217.7404–3(b)—When
awarded an undefinitized contract
action, contractors are required to
submit a qualifying proposal in
accordance with the definitization
schedule provided in the contract.
Contracting officers use this information
to complete a meaningful analysis of a
contractor’s proposal in a timely
manner.
DFARS 217.7505(d)—When
responding to sole-source solicitations
that include the acquisition of
replenishment parts, offerors submit
price and quantity data on any
Government orders for the
replenishment part(s) issued within the
most recent 12 months. Contracting
officers use this information to evaluate
recent price increases for sole-source
replenishment parts.
DFARS clause 252.217–7012—
Included in master agreements for repair
and alteration of vessels, paragraph (d)
of the clause requires contractors to
show evidence of insurance under the
agreement. Contracting officers use this
information to ensure that the contractor
is adequately insured when performing
work under the agreement. Paragraphs
(f) and (g) of the clause require
contractors to notify the contracting
officer of any property loss or damage
for which the Government is liable
under the agreement and submit a
request, with supporting
documentation, for reimbursement of
the cost of replacement or repair.
Contracting officers use this information
to stay informed of lost or damaged
property for which the Government is
liable, and to determine the appropriate
course of action for replacement or
repair of the property.
DFARS provision 252.217–7026—
Included in certain solicitations for
supplies that are being acquired under
other than full and open competition,
the provision requires the apparently
successful offeror to identify their
PO 00000

sources of supply so that competition
can be enhanced in future acquisitions.
DFARS clause 252.217–7028—When
performing under contracts for
overhaul, maintenance, and repair,
contractors must submit a work request
and proposal for ‘‘over and above’’ work
that is within the scope of the contract,
but not covered by the line item(s)
under the contract, and necessary in
order to satisfactorily complete the
contract. This requirement allows the
Government to review the need for
pending work before the contractor
begins performance.
