SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

Secretariat will be submitting to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) a request to review and approve an extension of a currently

clearance currently expires on April 30, 2005.
    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
functions of the FAR, and whether it will have practical utility; 
whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection of 
information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and 
methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and ways in which we can minimize the 
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, 
through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.

DATES: Submit comments on or before February 25, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments regarding this burden estimate or any other 
aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for 
reducing this burden to the General Services Administration, FAR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    Federal solicitations normally do not specify delivery schedules 
that will require overtime at the Government's expense. However, when 
overtime is required under a contract and it exceeds the dollar ceiling 
established during negotiations, the contractor must request approval 
from the contracting officer for overtime. With the request, the 
contractor must provide information regarding the need for overtime.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 1,270.
    Responses Per Respondent: 1.
    Total Responses: 1,270.
    Hours Per Response: .25.
    Total Burden Hours: 318.
    Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the 
information collection documents from the General Services 
Administration, FAR Secretariat (VIR), Room 4035, 1800 F Street, NW, 
Washington, DC 20405, telephone (202) 501-4755. Please cite OMB Control 
No. 9000-0065, Overtime, in all correspondence.
