SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. OMB Control Number, Title, and Any Associated Form(s)
9000-0029, Extraordinary Contractual Action Requests.
B. Need and Uses
This clearance covers the information that contractors must submit
to comply with the following Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)
requirements:
FAR 50.103-3, Contract Adjustment. This section specifies the
minimum information that a contractor must include when seeking a
contract adjustment that would facilitate the national defense, as set
forth in Public Law 85-804. The request, normally a letter, shall state
as a minimum -
(1) The precise adjustment requested;
(2) The essential facts, summarized chronologically in narrative
form;
(3) The contractor's conclusions based on these facts, showing, in
terms of the considerations set forth in FAR 50.103-1 and 50.103-2,
when the contractor considers itself entitled to the adjustment; and
(4) Whether or not -
(i) All obligations under the contracts involved have been
discharged;
(ii) Final payment under the contracts involved has been made;
(iii) Any proceeds from the request will be subject to assignment
or other transfer, and to whom; and
(iv) The contractor has sought the same, or a similar or related,
adjustment from the Government Accountability Office or any other part
of the Government, or anticipates doing so.
If the request exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold, the
contractor must certify that the request is made in good faith and the
data are accurate and complete.

FAR 50.103-4, Facts and Evidence. This section covers additional
information that the contracting officer or other agency official may
request from the contractor to support any request made under FAR
50.103-3.
FAR 50.104-3 Special Procedures for Unusually Hazardous or Nuclear
Risks. This section provides the information a contractor shall submit
to the contracting officer when requesting the inclusion of the
indemnification clause for unusually hazardous or nuclear risks at FAR
52.250-1.
FAR 52.250-1, Indemnification Under Public Law 85-804. This clause
allows contractors to be indemnified against unusually hazardous or
nuclear risks. Paragraph (g) requires the contractor to promptly notify
the contracting officer and furnish pertinent information for any claim
or loss that may involve indemnification under the clause.
The Government uses this information to determine if relief can be
granted to the contractor and to determine the appropriate type and
amount of relief.
C. Annual Burden
Respondents: 20.
Total Annual Responses: 30.
Total Burden Hours: 1,440.
D. Public Comment
A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register at 90 FR
15465, on April 11, 2025. A comment was received; however, it did not
change the estimate of the burden.
Comment: The respondent expressed the following: ``This collection
should not be renewed based on an improper implementation upon setup.
This also should not be considered based on the significant legal
impact for the initial contract. This is important to address for the
noncompliant agreement in place and the taxpayer dollars utilized over
the years.''
Response: The respondents' input is appreciated. Any changes to the
collection of information on extraordinary contractual action requests
will require rulemaking.
Obtaining Copies: Requesters may obtain a copy of the information
collection documents from the GSA Regulatory Secretariat Division, by
calling 202-501-4755 or emailing <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#aaedf9ebf8cfcdf9cfc9eacdd9cb84cdc5dc"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="dd9a8e9c8fb8ba8eb8be9dbaaebcf3bab2ab">[email protected]</span></a>. Please cite OMB
