Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: It is determined that an overall increase in the information collection is warranted, based on using current FY 2015 data generated from FPDS-NG. There is no centralized database in the Federal Government that maintains information regarding the use of the clauses at FAR 52.215-22 and FAR 52.215-23. Therefore, subject matter experts were consulted to obtain additional information that helped in estimating the revised public burden. The parameters for this information collection were defined based on the prescription from the applicable clauses. It was determined that the types of contracts associated with this information collection are: (1) For civilian agencies, cost-reimbursement type contracts and the total estimated contract or order value exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT). (2) For DoD, the total estimated contract or order value exceeds the threshold for obtaining cost or pricing data in 15.403-4 ($750,000); and the contract type is expected to be any contract type except— (i) A firm-fixed-price contract awarded on the basis of adequate price competition; (ii) A fixed-price contract with economic price adjustment awarded on the basis of adequate price competition; (iii) A firm-fixed-price contract for the acquisition of a commercial item; (iv) A fixed-price contract with economic price adjustment, for the acquisition of a commercial item; (v) A fixed-price incentive contract awarded on the basis of adequate price competition; or (vi) A fixed-price incentive contract for the acquisition of a commercial item.
