Pilot Mentor-Protege Program; OMB 

Control Number 0704–0332. 

Needs and Uses: DoD needs this 

information to evaluate whether the 

purposes of the DoD Pilot MentorProtege Program have been met. The 

purposes of the Program are to (1) 

provide incentives to major DoD 

contractors to assist protege firms in 

enhancing their capabilities to satisfy 

contract and subcontract requirements; 

(2) increase the overall participation of 

protege firms as subcontractors and 

suppliers; and (3) foster the 

establishment of long-term business 

relationships between protege firms and 

major DoD contractors. This Program 

implements Section 831 of the National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year 1991 (Public Law 101–510) and 

Section 811 of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000 

(Public Law 106–65) (10 U.S.C. 2302 

note). Participation in the Program is 

voluntary. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit organizations. 

Annual Burden Hours: 1,300 

(includes 847 recordkeeping hours). 

Number of Respondents: 229. 

Responses Per Respondent: 

Approximately 2. 

Annual Responses: 453. 

Average Burden Per Response: 1 hour. 

Average Recordkeeping Per Response: 

3.7 hours. 

Frequency: Semiannually (mentor); 

Annually (protege). 

Summary of Information Collection 

DFARS Appendix I, Section 112, 

requires mentor firms to report on the 

progress made under active mentorprotege agreements, semiannually for 

the periods ending March 31st and 

September 30th throughout the Program 

participation term of the agreement. The 

September 30th report must address the 

entire fiscal year. Reports must include 

the following data on performance 

under the mentor-protege agreement: 

(1) Dollars obligated. 

(2) Expenditures. 

(3) Dollars credited, if any, toward 

applicable subcontracting goals as a 

result of developmental assistance 

provided to the protege and a copy of 

the Standard Form (SF) 294 and/or SF 

295 for each contract where 

developmental assistance was credited. 

These amounts must be identified on 

the SF 294/SF 295 separately from the 

amounts credited toward the goals 

resulting from the award of actual 

subcontracts to protege firms. 

(4) The number and dollar value of 

subcontracts awarded to the protege 

firm. 

(5) Description of developmental 

assistance provided, including 

milestones achieved. 

(6) Impact of the agreement in terms 

of capabilities enhanced, certifications 

received, and/or technology transferred. 

In addition, the protege firm must 

provide data, annually by October 31st, 

on the protege firm’s progress in 

employment, revenues, and 

participation in DoD contracts during 

each fiscal year of the Program 

participation term and each of the two 

fiscal years following the expiration of 

the Program participation term. During 

the Program participation term, this 

information may be provided as part of 

the annual mentor report for the period 

ending September 30th.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title, Associated Form, and OMB 

Number: Defense Federal Acquisition 

Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 

Subpart 215.4, Contract Pricing; DD 

Form 1861, Contract Facilities Capital 

Cost of Money; OMB Control Number 

0704–0232. 

Needs and Uses: 

DoD contracting officers use DD Form 

1861 in computing profit objectives for 

negotiated contracts. A DD Form 1861 is 

normally completed for each proposal 

for a contract for supplies or services 

that is priced and negotiated on the 

basis of cost analysis. The form enables 

contracting officers to differentiate 

profit objectives for various types of 

contractor assets (land, buildings, 

equipment). DoD needs this information 

to develop appropriate profit objectives 

when negotiating Government contracts. 

DoD contracting officers need the 

information required by DFARS 

215.407–5, Estimating systems, and the 

related contract clause at 252.215–7002, 

Cost Estimating System Requirements, 

to determine if a contractor has an 

acceptable system for generating cost 

estimates, and to monitor the correction 

of any deficiencies. 

Affected Public: Businesses and other 

for-profit entities. 

Number of Respondents: 10,300. 

Responses Per Respondent: 

Approximately 5. 

Annual Responses: 53,458. 

Average Burden Per Response: 

Approximately 10 hours. 

Annual Response Burden Hours: 

538,480. 

Reporting Frequency: On occasion. 

Summary of Information Collection 

DFARS 215.404–71–4, Facilities 

capital employed, requires the use of DD 

Form 1861 as a means of linking Form 

CASB–CMF, Facilities Capital Cost of 

Money Factors Computation, and DD 

Form 1547, Record of Weighted 

Guidelines Application. The contracting 

officer uses DD Form 1861 to record and 

compute contract facilities capital cost 

of money and facilities capital 

employed, and carries the facilities 

capital employed amount to DD Form 

1547 to develop a profit objective. When 

the weighted guidelines method is used 

as one of the three structured 

approaches for developing a 

prenegotiation profit or fee objective in 

accordance with DFARS 215.404–4, 

completion of DD Form 1861 requires 

contractor information not included on 

Form CASB–CMF, i.e., distribution 

percentages of land, buildings, and 

equipment for the business unit 

performing the contract. 

DFARS 215.407–5, Estimating 

systems, and the clause at 252.215–

7002, Cost Estimating System 

Requirements, require that certain large 

business contractors—

• Establish an acceptable cost 

estimating system and disclose the 

estimating system to the administrative 

contracting officer (ACO) in writing; 

• Maintain the estimating system and 

disclose significant changes in the 

system to the ACO on a timely basis; 

and 

• Respond in writing to written 

reports from the Government that 

identify deficiencies in the estimating 

system.
