Abstract
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 0704-0497 through January 31, 2024. DoD proposes that OMB approve an extension of the information collection requirement, to expire three years after the approval date.

The purpose of this information collection is to improve the efficiency
of the negotiations process by ensuring the submission of thorough,
accurate, and complete forward pricing rate proposals. If the
contracting officer determines that a forward pricing rate proposal
should be obtained pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation 42.1701,

pricing rate proposal that complies with Federal Acquisition Regulation
15.408, Table 15-2, and DFARS 215.403-5 and 215.407-5-70. The forward
pricing rate proposal adequacy checklist at Table 215.403-1 is used by
the contracting officer and the contractor to ensure the proposal is
complete. The completed forward pricing rate proposal adequacy
checklist will be submitted to DoD with the forward pricing rate
proposal.
