Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting
comments and information to enable it to: (i) evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the
information will have
[[Page 22094]]
practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (iii) enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(iv) minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the use of appropriate forms of
information technology. EPA will consider the comments received and
amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be
submitted to OMB for review and approval. At that time, EPA will issue
another Federal Register notice to announce the submission of the ICR
to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.
Abstract: All contractors who have completed an EPA cost-
reimbursement type contract will be required to submit EPA Form 1900-
10. EPA Form 1900-10 summarizes all costs incurred in performance of
the contract and sets forth the final indirect rates. This form is
reviewed by the contracting officer to determine the final costs
reimbursable to the contractor. The Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR) 52.216-7 states that the Government will pay only the costs
determined to be allowable by the contracting officer in accordance
with FAR subpart 31.2. Furthermore, FAR 52.216-7 states that indirect
cost rates shall be established for each fiscal year at the close of a
contractor's fiscal year. EPA Form 1900-10 summarizes this information
for the entire contract period and provides a basis for cost review by
contracting, finance, and audit personnel. In addition, FAR 4.804-5
mandates that the office administering the contract shall ensure that
the costs and indirect cost rates are settled.
Form Numbers: EPA Form 1900-10.
Respondents/affected entities: All contractors who have completed
an EPA cost-reimbursement type contract.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (FAR 52.216-7).
Estimated number of respondents: 5 (total).
Frequency of response: Once, at end of contract.
Total estimated burden: 31.5 hours (per year). Burden is defined at
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $7,353.60 (per year), which includes $0
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by
OMB.

Director, Office of Acquisition Solutions.
