	Date Received in OIRA: 11/05/1991
Terms of Clearance: We have approved the current change reducing the paperwork burden, however, the terms of clearance concerning the underlying rule and previous proposed changes regarding Form 1412 remains subject to the following comments of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy pursuan to 44 USC 3504(h). Agencies may continue to collect information under the existing regulation. COMMENTS: The proposed rule does not sufficiently authorize and encourage contracting officers to rely on competitive acquisition in the place of burdensome cost or sales data submissions. The rule should more strongly discourage contracting officers from requiring the submission of cost or sales data when pric analysis based on verifiable competitive results is possible. The rul should state clearly that Cost Accounting Standards and Contract Cost Principles apply only to contractors that submit cost or pricing data. These concerns need to be addressed before issuance of the final rule as to ensure that the information collected has practical utility and does not exceed the minimum necessary to protect the government's interests. OFPP will work with the FAR staff to resolve these concern
