B. Needs and Uses

DoD, GSA, and NASA are combining OMB Control Nos. for the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) by FAR part. This consolidation is expected to improve industry's 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.


[top] 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 "Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 7 Requirements". Upon approval of this consolidated page 36859 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. The information provided under this clause is used by the Government to ensure: Contractor compliance with providing the right of first refusal to such affected personnel; and certain obligations to displaced employees are met by the Government.

FAR provision 52.207-4, Economic Purchase Quantity-Supplies, 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. The information provided under this provision is used by the Government to acquire supplies at the total and unit costs most advantageous to the Government and to develop a database for future acquisitions of such items of supply.

Respondents: 14,510.

Total Annual Responses: 14,510.
