SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. OMB Control Number, Title, and 

Any Associated Form(s) 

OMB Control No. 9000–0153, Federal 

Acquisition Regulation Part 11 

Requirements. 

B. Need and Uses 

DoD, GSA, and NASA are combining 

OMB Control Nos. 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. 

This justification supports the 

extension of OMB Control No. 9000– 

0153 and combines it with the 

previously approved information 

collections under OMB Control No. 

9000–0043, with the new title ‘‘Federal 

Acquisition Regulation Part 11 

Requirements’’. Upon approval of this 

consolidated information collection, 

OMB Control No. 9000–0043 will be 

discontinued. The burden requirements 

previously approved under the 

discontinued number will be covered 

under OMB Control No. 9000–0153. 

This clearance covers the information 

that offerors or contractors must submit 

to comply with the following FAR 

requirements: 

• FAR 52.211–7, Alternatives to 

Government-Unique Standards. This 

solicitation provision permits offerors to 

propose alternatives to Governmentunique standards in response to 

Government solicitations. When an 

offeror proposes a voluntary consensus 

standard as an alternative to a 

Government-unique standard included 

in a solicitation, the offeror must furnish 

data and/or information regarding the 

alternative in sufficient detail for the 

Government to determine if it meets the 

Government’s requirements. This 

provision is prescribed in FAR 11.107 

for use when a solicitation uses 

Government-unique standards and the 

agency uses the transaction-based 

reporting method to report its use of 

voluntary consensus standards to the 

National Institutes of Standards and 

Technology (NIST). This provision is 

optional for use if an agency uses the 

categorical method to report to NIST. In 

accordance with OMB Circular A–119, 

Federal Participation in the 

Development and Use of Voluntary 

Consensus Standards and in Conformity 

Assessment Activities, and section 12(d) 

of the National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104– 

113, 15 U.S.C. 272 note), agencies must 

use voluntary consensus standards, 

when they exist, in lieu of Governmentunique standards, except where 

inconsistent with law or otherwise 

impractical. The information collected 

from offerors will be used by Federal 

agencies to determine if voluntary 

consensus standards will satisfy the 

Government’s needs for a particular 

solicitation. 

• FAR 52.211–8, Time of Delivery; 

and 52.211–9, Desired and Required 

Time of Delivery. These time of delivery 

clauses may be used by contracting 

officers to set forth a required delivery 

schedule and to allow offerors to 

propose an alternative delivery 

schedule. Contracting officers use the 

collected information to ensure supplies 

or services are obtained in a timely 

manner. 

C. Annual Burden 

Respondents: 1,377. 

Total Annual Responses: 1,377. 

Total Burden Hours: 738.5. 

Obtaining Copies: Requesters may 

obtain a copy of the information 

collection documents from the GSA 

Regulatory Secretariat Division, by 

calling 202–501–4755 or emailing 

GSARegSec@gsa.gov. Please cite OMB
