SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title and OMB Number: Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation 
Supplement (DFARS) Subpart 215.4, Contract Pricing, and related clause 
at DFARS 252.215; OMB Control Number 0704-0232.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Number of Respondents: 302.
    Responses per Respondent: Approximately 1.4.
    Annual Responses: 427.
    Average Burden per Response: Approximately 40.7.
    Annual Burden Hours: 17,400.
    Needs and Uses: The clause at DFARS 252.215-7002, Cost Estimating 
System Requirements, requires that certain large business contractors--
    <bullet> Establish an acceptable cost estimating system and 
disclose the estimating system to the administrative contracting 
officer in writing;
    <bullet> Maintain the estimating system and disclose significant 
changes in the system to the administrative contracting officer on a 
timely basis; and
    <bullet> Respond in writing to written reports from the Government 
that identify deficiencies in the estimating system.
    DoD contracting officers use this information to determine if the 
contractor has an adequate system for generating cost estimates, which 
forecasts costs based on appropriate source information available at 
the time, and has the ability to monitor the correction of significant 
deficiencies. The need for information collection decreases as 
contractor estimating systems improve and gain contracting officer 
approval.
    DoD Clearance Officer: Ms. Angela Duncan. Requests for copies of 
the information collection proposal should be sent to Ms. Duncan at
