SUMMARY: The Defense Acquisition Regulations System has submitted to
OMB, for clearance, the following proposed revision and extension of a
collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act.
DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by October
24, 2022.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: Defense Federal Acquisition
Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Part 237 Clauses 252.237-7025 and
252.237-7026; OMB Control Number 0750-0006.
Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profit and not-for profit
institutions.

Number of Respondents: 12.
Responses per Respondent: 35.
Annual Responses: 420.
Average Burden per Response: 0.062, approximately.
Annual Burden Hours: 26.
Frequency: On occasion.
Needs and Uses: This information collection is required to
implement section 1006 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)
for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 (Pub. L. 115-232), as amended by section 1011
of the NDAA for FY 2020 (Pub. L. 116-92). Section 1006 applies to
accounting firms that provide financial statement auditing to DoD in
support of the audit under 31 U.S.C. 3521 or audit remediation services
in support of the Financial Improvement and Audit Remediation Plan
described in 10 U.S.C. 240b. Such firms, when responding to a
solicitation or awarded a contract for the acquisition of covered
services, must disclose to DoD before any contract action (including
award, renewals, and amendments) the details of any disciplinary
proceedings with respect to the accounting firm or its associated
persons before any entity with the authority to enforce compliance with
rules or laws applying to audit services offered by the accounting
firm. DoD, as a matter of policy to provide a level playing field
between firms that provide audit services to support certain DoD
audits, is extending this requirement to firms other than accounting
firms that provide such services. Section 1011 amended section 1006 to
require any disclosures to be treated as confidential to the extent
required by the court or agency in which the proceeding occurred and to
be treated in a manner consistent with any protections or privileges
established by any other provision of Federal law.
