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 service contracting. 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 June 30, 2025. 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)

    9000-0152, Service Contracting.

B. Need and Uses

    This clearance covers the information that offerors must submit to 
comply with the FAR requirements at FAR 52.237-10, Identification of 
Uncompensated Overtime. This provision requires offerors, when 
professional or technical services are

[[Page 11975]]

acquired on the basis of the number of hours to be provided, to 
identify uncompensated overtime hours in excess of 40 hours per week, 
whether at the prime or subcontract level. This includes uncompensated 
overtime hours that are in indirect cost pools for personnel whose 
regular hours are normally charged direct.
    The contracting officer will use the collected information to 
perform an adequate cost realism analysis of the offerors' proposed 
labor rates. Proposals which include unrealistically low labor rates, 
or which do not otherwise demonstrate cost realism, will be considered 
by the contracting officer in a risk assessment and evaluated 
appropriately. The primary purpose for obtaining the information and 
using it during the source selection process is to discourage the use 
of uncompensated overtime.

C. Annual Burden

    Respondents: 20,076.
    Total Annual Responses: 20,076.
    Total Burden Hours: 10,038.
    Obtaining Copies: Requesters may obtain a copy of the information 
collection documents from the GSA Regulatory Secretariat Division by
