correspondence.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

Rights in Data is a regulation which

concerns the rights of the Government,

and organizations with which the

Government contracts, to information

developed under such contracts. The

delineation of such rights is necessary

in order to protect the contractor’s rights

to not disclose proprietary data and to

insure that data developed with public

funds is available to the public.

The information collection burdens

and recordkeeping requirements

included in this regulation fall into the

following four categories.

(a) A provision which is to be

included in solicitations where the

proposer would identify any proprietary

data he would use during contract

performance in order that the

contracting officer might ascertain if

such proprietary data should be

delivered.

(b) Contract provisions which, in

unusual circumstances, would be

included in a contract and require a

contractor to deliver proprietary data to

the Government for use in evaluation of

work results, or is software to be used

in a Government computer. These

situations would arise only when the

very nature of the contractor’s work is

comprised of limited rights data or

restricted computer software and if the

Government would need to see that data

in order to determine the extent of the

work.

(c) A technical data certification for

major systems, which requires the

contractor to certify that the data

delivered under the contract is

complete, accurate and compliant with

the requirements of the contract. As this

provision is for major systems only, and

few civilian agencies have such major

systems, only about 30 contracts will

involve this certification.

(d) The Additional Data Requirements

clause, which is to be included in all

contracts for experimental,

developmental, research, or

demonstration work (other than basic or

applied research to be performed solely

by a university or college where the

contract amount will be $500,000 or

less). The clause requires that the

contractor keep all data first produced

in the performance of the contract for a

period of three years from the final

acceptance of all items delivered under

the contract. Much of this data will be

in the form of the deliverables provided

to the Government under the contract

(final report, drawings, specifications,

etc.). Some data, however, will be in the

form of computations, preliminary data,

records of experiments, etc., and these

will be the data that will be required to

be kept over and above the deliverables.

The purpose of such recordkeeping

requirements is to insure that the

Government can fully evaluate the

research in order to ascertain future

activities and to insure that the research

was completed and fully reported, as

well as to give the public an opportunity

to assess the research results and secure

any additional information. All data

covered by this clause is unlimited

rights data paid for by the Government.

Paragraph (d) of the Rights in DataGeneral clause outlines a procedure

whereby a contracting officer can

challenge restrictive markings on data

delivered. Under civilian agency

contracts, limited rights data or

restricted computer software is rarely, if

ever, delivered to the Government.

Therefore, there will rarely be any

challenges. Thus, there is no burden on

the public.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

The annual reporting burden is

estimated as follows: Respondents,

1,100; responses per respondent, 1; total

annual responses, 1,100; preparation

hours per response, 2.7; and total

response burden hours, 2,970.

C. Annual Recordkeeping Burden

The annual recordkeeping burden is

estimated as follows: Recordkeepers,

9,000; hours per recordkeeper, 3; and

total recordkeeping burden hours,

27,000.

justification from the General Services
