If it is in the best interest of the
Government, the contracting officer may authorize
cost-reimbursement contractors to obtain, for official purposes
only, interagency fleet management system (IFMS) vehicles and
related services. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 51.205 and
the clause at FAR 52.251-2, Interagency Fleet Management System
(IFMS) Vehicles and Related Services are to be used in
solicitations and contracts when a cost reimbursement contract is
contemplated and the contracting officer may authorize the
contractor to use IFMS vehicles and related services.
The information collection
requirement in the FAR remains unchanged. The number of estimated
respondents per year is being increased from 140 respondents to 180
respondents based on analysis of FY 2012 data obtained from FPDS.
The estimated hours per response are being increased from 30
minutes to 1 hour based on a new evaluation of the FAR submission
requirements. The estimated cost to the Government has been
increased based on the increased estimated total burden hours
resulting from analysis of new data available.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
