SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. OMB Control Number, Title, and Any Associated Form(s)
9000-0027, Value Engineering Requirements.
B. Need and Uses
This clearance covers the information that contractors must submit
to comply with the following Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)
requirements:
<bullet> FAR 52.248-1, Value Engineering; 52.248-2, Value
Engineering-Architect-Engineer; and 52.248-3, Value Engineering-
Construction. These clauses require contractors submitting Value
Engineering Change Proposals (VECP's) to the Government to provide such
details as: a description of the differences between the existing
contract requirement and the proposed requirement, and the comparative
advantages and disadvantages of each; a list and analysis of contract
requirements that must be changed if the VECP is accepted; a detailed
cost estimate showing anticipated reductions associated with the VECP;
a statement of the time a modification accepting the VECP must be
issued to achieve maximum cost reduction, and the effect on contract
completion time; and identification of any previous submissions of the
VECP; the agencies and contract numbers involved and previous
Government actions, if known.
The Government will use the collected information to evaluate the
VECP and, if accepted, to arrange for an equitable sharing plan.
C. Annual Burden
Respondents: 90.
Total Annual Responses: 180.
Total Burden Hours: 2,700.
D. Public Comment
A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register at 90 FR
11975, on March 13, 2025. A comment was received; however, it did not
change the estimate of the burden.
Comment: This collection should be modified to remove the automated
collection techniques that are not currently approved within the
contract properly. The incentive language should be removed from the
existing agreement and contract regulations need to be followed by all
parties involved in the agreement.
Response: The respondents' input is appreciated. Any changes to the
collection will require rulemaking. The clauses at FAR 52.248-1,
52.248-2, and 52.248-3 require contractors submitting Value Engineering
Change Proposals (VECP's) to provide enough details for the Government
to evaluate the VECP and, if accepted, arrange for an equitable sharing
plan.

collection documents from the GSA Regulatory Secretariat Division by
