The requirements of provision 552.219-72 are an extension to the existing FAR policy for subcontracting plan submissions. In August 1994 GSAM Part 19 was amended to include the information collection of the provision 552.219-72, âPreparation, Submission, and Negotiation of Subcontracting Plansâ to require for all negotiated solicitations, having an anticipated award value over $650,000 ($1,500,000 for construction), the submission of a subcontracting plan with an offerorâs proposal.
GSA based the estimated burden of the collection of information on information obtained from subject matter experts familiar with subcontracting plans in the Office of Small Business Utilization. The burden addressed in this information collection requirement is the burden of developing, preparing, and submitting the required information. The number of offerors estimated to be affected has increased significantly since the last information collection renewal.
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 following is a summary of the topics, regarding 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 benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
