information required by paragraphs (f) 

and (g) of the clause to keep informed 

of lost or damaged property for which 

the Government is liable, and to 

determine the appropriate course of 

action for replacement or repair of the 

property. 

Contracting officers use the 

information required by the provision at 

DFARS 252.217–7026 to identify the 

apparently successful offeror’s sources 

of supply so that competition can be 

enhanced in future acquisitions. This 

collection complies with 10 U.S.C. 

2384, Supplies: identification of 

supplier and sources, which requires 

the contractor to identify the actual 

manufacturer or all sources of supply 

for supplies furnished under contract to 

DoD. 

Contracting officers use the 

information required by the clause at 

252.217–7028 to determine the extent of 

‘‘over and above’’ work before the work 

commences. This requirement allows 

the Government to review the need for 

pending work before the contractor 

begins performance. 

Contracting officers use the 

information required by DFARS 

217.7004(a) where offerors shall state 

prices for the new items being acquired 

both with and without any exchange 

(trade-in allowance). 

Contracting officers use the 

information from 217.7404–3(b), to 

evaluate a contractor’s ‘‘qualifying 

proposal’’ in accordance with the 

definitization schedule. This 

requirement will require receipt of a 

qualifying proposal containing 

sufficient information for the DoD to do 

complete a meaningful analyses and 

audit of the information in the proposal, 

and any other information that the 

contracting officer has determined DoD 

needs to review in connection with the 

contract. 

Contracting officers use the 

information from 217.7505(d), where 

the offeror supply’s with its proposal, 

price and quantity data on any 

Government orders for the 

replenishment part issued within the 

most recent 12 months. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit entities. 

Annual Burden Hours: 861,942. 

Number of Respondents: 51,839. 

Responses per Respondent: 1.7. 

Annual Responses: 88,091. 

Average Burden per Response: 9.78

Summary of Information Collection 

Each provision or clause requires the 

offeror or contractor to submit certain 

information: 

Paragraph (d)(3) of the clause at 

DFARS 252.217–7012 requires the 

contractor to show evidence of 

insurance under a master agreement for 

vessel repair and alteration. 

Paragraphs (f) and (g) of the clause at 

DFARS 252.217–7012 require the 

contractor to notify the contracting 

officer of any property loss or damage 

for which the Government is liable, and 

to submit to the contracting officer a 

request for reimbursement of the cost of 

replacement or repair with supporting 

documentation. 

The provision at 252.217–7026 

requires the apparently successful 

offeror to identify its sources of supply. 

Paragraphs (c) and (e) of the clause at 

DFARS 252.217–7028 require the 

contractor to submit to the contracting 

officer a work request and a proposal for 

‘‘over and above’’ work. 

Paragraph (a) of DFARS 217.7004 

requires that solicitations which 

contemplate exchange (trade-in) of 

personal property and application of the 

exchange allowance to the acquisition of 

similar property (see 40 U.S.C. 481), 

shall include a request for offerors to 

state prices for the new items being 

acquired both with and without any 

exchange (trade-in allowance). 

Paragraph (b) of 217.7404–3, 

Undefinitized Contract Actions, requires 

the contractor to submit a ‘‘qualifying 

proposal’’ in accordance with the 

definitization schedule. A qualifying 

proposal is defined in 217.7401(c) as a 

proposal containing sufficient 

information for the DoD to do complete 

and meaningful analyses and audits of 

the information in the proposal, and any 

other information that the contracting 

officer has determined DoD needs to 

review in connection with the contract. 

Paragraph (d) of 217.7505, 

Acquisition of Replenishment Parts 

permits contracting officers to include 

in sole-source solicitations that include 

acquisition of replenishment parts, a 

provision requiring that the offeror 

supply with its proposal, price and 

quantity data on any Government orders 

for the replenishment part issued within 

the most recent 12 months (see 10 

U.S.C. 2452 note, Spare Parts and 

Replacement Equipment, Publication of 

Regulations).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Exports of 

electricity from the United States to a 

foreign country are regulated by the 

Department of Energy (DOE) pursuant to 

sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the 

Department of Energy Organization Act 

(42 U.S.C. 7151(b), 7172(f)) and require 

authorization under section 202(e) of 

the FPA (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)). 

On July 23, 1998, DOE issued Order 

No. EA–184, authorizing MSCG to 

transmit electric energy from the United 

States to Mexico as a power marketer for 

a two-year term using existing 

international transmission facilities. 

That Order expired on July 23, 2000. 

DOE renewed the MSCG export 

authorization on June 28, 2006 in Order 

No. EA–184–A. That Order expired on 

June 28, 2011. On June 20, 2011 MSCG 

filed an application with DOE to renew 

the export authority contained in Order 

No. EA–184–A for a five-year term. 

The electric energy that MSCG 

proposes to export to Mexico would be 

surplus energy purchased from electric 

utilities, Federal power marketing 

agencies, and other entities within the 

United States. The existing international 

transmission facilities to be utilized by 

MSCG have previously been authorized 

by Presidential permits issued pursuant 

to Executive Order 10485, as amended, 

and are appropriate for open access 

transmission by third parties. 

Procedural Matters: Any person 

desiring to be heard in this proceeding
