0704-0229

DFARS Case 2015-D001


As part of a DFARS streamlining initiative, DoD is eliminating the requirement for quarterly reporting of actual contract performance outside the United States under DFARS clause 252.225-7006 and associated text in DFARS subpart 225.72. This report is not required by statute. DD Form 2139 had been used to collect this information. However, since the form is also used by DFARS 252.225-7003 and 252.225-7004, the form will be retained for use with those clauses.


Below is an assessment of the number of respondents, burden hours, and cost being deleted from DFARS collection 0704-0229 resulting from publication of DFARS final rule 2015-D001.


252.225-7006, Quarterly Reporting of Actual Contract Performance Outside the United States.


This information collection requirement was included in the January 30, 2014, request for 3-year extension of the information collection requirement under OMB Control Number 0704-0229, DFARS Part 225, Foreign Acquisition, and related contract clauses at DFARS 252.225. This information collection requirement was approved with an expiration date of March 31, 2017. Deletion of DFARS clause 252.225-7006 will result in the reduction in burden under OMB Clearance No. 0704-0229 in the amount of 225 hours calculated as follows:


Respondents 30

Responses/respondent x 15

Responses 450

Hours per response x .5

Total hours 225

Cost per hour x $37_*

Total annual cost to public $8,325


* Based on equivalent of CY 2010 GS-11 step 5 salary using OPM rates ($27.31) plus 36.25% fringe benefit rates (OMB), rounded to nearest dollar.



Accordingly, the following reflects the new total estimated annual public burden associated with the removal of DFARS clause 252.225-7006:


Total respondents 23,167

Total responses/respondent (approx.) 9

Total responses 208,667

Total hours per response .31

Total annual hours 64,031 (63,936 + 95 RK)

Total annual cost to public $2,369,472


DARS is submitting an 83-C change notice concurrently with the submission of DFARS final rule 2015-D001 to OIRA.
