When the Government awards a cost-reimbursement construction contract, in accordance with FAR 52.236-19, the contractor must submit to the contracting officer and keep current a chart showing the general executive and administrative organization, the personnel to be employed in connection with the work under the contract, and their respective duties. The chart is used in administration of the contract and as an aid in determining cost. The information being requested is usually maintained by companies for other business purposes, therefore, the number of respondents who would have to create this is in response to contract requirement is minimal.
The burden hours under FAR 52.236-19 were reduced based on FY 2017 FPDS data that showed the actual number of respondents for this type of requirement.
