The Department of Defense, General Services Administration, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration are combining OMB Control Nos. for the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) by FAR part. This consolidation is expected to improve industryâs ability to easily and efficiently identify burdens associated with a given FAR part. The review of the information collections by FAR part allows improved oversight to ensure there is no redundant or unaccounted for burden placed on industry. Lastly, combining information collections in a given FAR part is also expected to reduce the administrative burden associated with processing multiple information collections.
This justification supports the revision of OMB Control No. 9000-0082 and combines it with the previously approved information collection under OMB Control No. 9000-0114, with the new title âFederal Acquisition Regulation Part 7 Requirementsâ. Upon approval of this consolidated information collection, OMB Control No. 9000-0114 will be discontinued. The burden requirements previously approved under the discontinued number will be covered under OMB Control No. 9000-0082.
This clearance covers the information that offerors or contractors must submit to comply with the following FAR requirements:
FAR clause 52.207-3, Right of First Refusal of Employment, requires contractors to provide the contracting officer, within 120 days of beginning contract performance, the names of personnel who were: adversely affected or separated from Government employment as a result of the contract award; and subsequently hired by the contractor to perform under the contract within 90 days after contract performance began.
FAR provision 52.207-4, Economic Purchase QuantityâSupplies, permits offerors, who believe that acquisition of supplies in quantity different from what is being solicited would be more advantageous to the Government, to recommend with their offer a more economic purchase quantity for the required supplies.
For FAR provision 52.207-4, the increase in respondents from 3,000 to 7,250, and the decrease in: responses per respondent from 25 to 1; total annual responses from 75,000 to 7,250; and the total estimated cost to the public and to the Government from $4,050,000 to $855,500 results from a change in the methodology used to calculate the burdens. Previously, these burdens were calculated based on the input of subject matter experts. This clearance utilizes contract award data from FPDS to estimate the number of solicitations that could be subject to the provision.
The estimated cost to the public and to the Government for FAR clause 52.207-3 was increased based on use of calendar year 2022 OPM GS wage rates for the rest of the United States.
