SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. OMB control number, Title, and any Associated Form(s): 9000-
0024, Buy American, Trade Agreements, and Duty-Free Entry.
B. Need and Uses: This clearance covers the information that an
offeror must submit in response to the requirements of the provisions
and clauses in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 25, as
codified in Chapter 1 of Title 48 of the Code of Federal Regulations,
that relates to the following:
* The Buy American statute (41 U.S.C. chapter 83) and Executive
Orders 10582 and 14005.
* The Trade Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. 2501-2515), including the
World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement and various
free trade agreements.
* The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111-
5) (Recovery Act).
* Subchapters VIII and X of Chapter 98 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (19 U.S.C. 1202).
FAR 52.225-2, Buy American Certificate. This provision requires the
offeror to identify in its proposal supplies that do not meet the
definition of domestic end product and whether those supplies exceed
55% domestic content. This provision also requires offerors to identify
in its proposal domestic end products that contain a critical
component.
FAR 52.225-4, Buy American--Free Trade Agreements--Israeli Trade
Act Certificate. This provision requires a separate list of foreign
products that are eligible under a trade agreement, and a list of all
other foreign end products and whether those supplies exceed 55%
domestic content. This provision also requires offerors to identify in
its proposal domestic end products that contain a critical component.
[[Page 57469]]
FAR 52.225-6, Trade Agreements Certificate. This provision requires
the offeror to certify that all end products are either U.S.-made or
designated country end products, except as listed in paragraph (b) of
the provision. Offerors are not allowed to provide other than a U.S.-
made or designated country end product, unless the requirement is
waived.
FAR 52.225-8, Duty-Free Entry. This clause requires contractors to
notify the contracting officer when they purchase foreign supplies, in
order to determine whether the supplies should be duty-free. The notice
shall identify the foreign supplies, estimate the amount of duty, and
the country of origin. The contractor is not required to identify
foreign supplies that are identical in nature to items purchased by the
contractor or any subcontractor in connection with its commercial
business, and segregation of these supplies to ensure use only on
Government contracts containing duty-free entry provisions is not
economical or feasible. In addition, all shipping documents and
containers must specify certain information to assure the duty-free
entry of the supplies.
Construction provisions and clauses:
<bullet> FAR 52.225-9, Buy American--Construction Materials
<bullet> FAR 52.225-10, Notice of Buy American Requirement--
Construction Materials
<bullet> FAR 52.225-11, Buy American-Construction Materials Under Trade
Agreements
<bullet> FAR 52.225-12, Notice of Buy American Requirement--
Construction Materials under Trade Agreements
<bullet> FAR 52.225-21, Required Use of American Iron, Steel, and
Manufactured Goods--Buy American Statute--Construction Materials
<bullet> FAR 52.225-23, Required Use of American Iron, Steel, and
Manufactured Goods--Buy American Statute--Construction Materials Under
Trade Agreements
The listed provisions and clauses provide that an offeror or
contractor requesting to use foreign construction material due to
unreasonable cost of domestic construction material shall provide
adequate information to permit evaluation of the request.
For supplies acquisitions, the contracting officer uses some of the
information to identify the offered items that comply with the
requirements of the Buy American statute and trade agreements and
whether the supplies should be granted duty-free entry. For
construction acquisitions, the contracting officer uses the information
to evaluate requests for a determination of inapplicability of the Buy
American statute.
C. Annual Burden:
Respondents: 9,279.
Total Annual Responses: 34,535.
Total Burden Hours: 29,138.
