Abstract
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulations, DoD, GSA, and NASA invite the public to comment on an extension concerning extraordinary contractual action requests. DoD, GSA, and NASA invite comments on: Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of Federal Government acquisitions, including whether the information will have practical utility; the accuracy of the 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 the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. OMB has approved this information collection for use through September 30, 2022. DoD, GSA, and NASA propose that OMB extend its approval for use for three additional years beyond the current expiration date.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. OMB Control Number, Title, and Any Associated Form(s)
9000-0029, Extraordinary Contractual Action Requests.
B. Need and Uses
This justification supports an extension of OMB Control No. 9000-
0029. This clearance covers the information that contractors must
submit to comply with the following Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR) requirements:
FAR 50.103-3, Contract Adjustment. FAR 50.103-3 specifies the
minimum information that a contractor must include when seeking a
contract adjustment that would facilitate the national defense, as set
forth in Public Law 85-804. The request, normally a letter, shall state
as a minimum--
(1) The precise adjustment requested;
(2) The essential facts, summarized chronologically in narrative
form;
(3) The contractor's conclusions based on these facts, showing, in
terms of the considerations set forth in FAR 50.103-1 and 50.103-2,
when the contractor considers itself entitled to the adjustment; and
(4) Whether or not--
(i) All obligations under the contracts involved have been
discharged;
(ii) Final payment under the contracts involved has been made;
(iii) Any proceeds from the request will be subject to assignment
or other transfer, and to whom; and
(iv) The contractor has sought the same, or a similar or related,
adjustment from the Government Accountability Office or any other part
of the Government, or anticipates doing so.
If the request exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold, the
contractor must certify that the request is made in good faith and the
data are accurate and complete.
FAR 50.103-4, Facts and Evidence. FAR 50.103-4 sets forth
additional information that the contracting officer or other agency
official may request from the contractor to support any request made
under FAR 50.103-3.
FAR 50.104-3 Special Procedures for Unusually Hazardous or Nuclear
Risks. FAR 50.104-3 provides the information a contractor shall submit
to the contracting officer when requesting the inclusion of the
indemnification clause for unusually hazardous or nuclear risks at FAR
52.250-1.
FAR 52.250-1, Indemnification Under Public Law 85-804. This clause
allows contractors to be indemnified against unusually hazardous or
nuclear risks. Paragraph (g) requires the contractor to promptly notify
the contracting officer and furnish pertinent information for any claim
or loss that may involve indemnification under the clause.
This information is used by the Government to determine if relief
can be granted to the contractor and to determine the appropriate type
and amount of relief.
C. Annual Burden
Respondents: 28.
Total Annual Responses: 165.
Total Burden Hours: 6,848.
