SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Description of the Information 

Collection 

1. Type of Information Collection: 

Revision/Renewal of a currently 

approved collection. 

2. Title of the Collection: Travel Costs. 

3. Agency form number, if any: N/A. 

Solicitation of Public Comment 

Written comments and suggestions 

from the public should address one or 

more of the following four points: 

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. 

B. Purpose 

This information collection 

requirement, OMB Control No. 9000– 

0079, currently titled ‘‘Corporate 

Aircraft Costs,’’ is proposed to be 

retitled ‘‘Travel Costs,’’ due to 

consolidation with currently approved 

information collection requirement 

OMB Control No. 9000–0088, Travel 

Costs. 

This information collection 

requirement pertains to information that 

a contractor must submit in response to 

the requirements in FAR 31.205–46: 

1. FAR 31.205–46(a)(3)—In special or 

unusual situations, costs incurred by a 

contractor for lodging, meals, and 

incidental expenses, may exceed on a 

daily basis the per diem rates in effect 

as set forth in the Federal Travel 

Regulation (FTR) for travel in the 

conterminous 48 United States. The 

actual costs may be allowed only if the 

contractor provides the following: 

a. FAR 31.205–46(a)(3)(ii)—A written 

justification for use of the higher 

amounts approved by an officer of the 

contractor’s organization or designee to 

ensure that the authority is properly 

administered and controlled to prevent 

abuse. 

b. FAR 31.205–46(a)(3)(iii)—Advance 

approval from the contracting officer if 

it becomes necessary to exercise the 

authority to use the higher actual 

expense method repetitively or on a 

continuing basis in a particular area. 

c. FAR 31.205–46(a)(3)(iv)— 

Documentation to support actual costs 

incurred including a receipt for each 

expenditure of $75.00 or more. 

2. FAR 31.205–46(c) requires firms to 

maintain and make available manifest/ 

logs for all flights on company aircraft. 

As a minimum, the manifest/log must 

indicate: 

a. Date, time, and points of departure; 

b. Destination, date, and time of 

arrival; 

c. Name of each passenger and 

relationship to the contractor 

d. Authorization for trip; and 

e. Purpose of trip. 

The information required by (a) and 

(b) and the name of each passenger 

(required by (c)) are recordkeeping 

requirements already established by 

Federal Aviation Administration 

regulations. This information, plus the 

additional required information, is 

needed to ensure that costs of owned, 

chartered, or leased aircraft are properly 

charged against Government contracts 

and that directly associated costs of 

unallowable activities are not charged to 

Government contracts. 

C. Annual Reporting Burden 

DoD, GSA and NASA analyzed the FY 

2017 data from the Federal Procurement 

Data System (FPDS) to develop the 

estimated burden hours for this 

information collection.

Total annual records: 2,391. 

Estimated hours per record: 2.0.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

Government contracting officers may 

include Federal Acquisition Regulation 

(FAR) clause 52.222–32, Construction 

Wage Rate Requirements—Price 

Adjustment (Actual Method), in fixedprice solicitations and contracts subject 

to the Construction Wage Rate 

Requirements statute under certain 

conditions. The conditions are that the 

solicitation or contract contains option 

provisions to extend the term of the 

contract and the contracting officer 

determines that the most appropriate 

method to adjust the contract price at 

option exercise is to use a computation 

method based on the actual increase or 

decrease from a new or revised 

Department of Labor Construction Wage 

Rate Requirements statute wage 

determination. 

The clause requires that a contractor 

submit at the exercise of each option to 

extend the term of the contract, a 

statement of the amount claimed for 

incorporation of the most current wage 

determination by the Department of 

Labor, and any relevant supporting data, 

including payroll records, that the 

contracting officer may reasonably 

require. The information is used by 

Government contracting officers to 

establish the contract price adjustment 

for the construction requirements of a 

contract, generally if the contract 

requirements are predominantly 

services subject to the Service Contract 

Labor Standards statute. 

B. Public Comment 

A 60 day notice was published in the 

Federal Register at 83 FR 23278, on 

May 18, 2018. No comments were 

received. 

C. Annual Reporting Burden 

The Federal Procurement Data System 

(FPDS) indicates that 5,309 construction 

contractors in FY 2017 could potentially 

have had contracts with recurring 

options. However, we believe there are 

only approximately 10% of these that 

would contain the subject clause, since 

most would not have a price adjustment 

clause, and there are other FAR 

prescribed price adjustment clauses. 

The estimated total burden is as 

follows: 

Respondents: 531. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Total Annual Responses: 531. 

Hours per Response: 40. 

Total Burden Hours: 21,240. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit and not-for-profit institutions. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Obtaining Copies: Requesters may 

obtain a copy of the information 

collection documents from the General 

Services Administration, Regulatory 

Secretariat Division (MVCB), 1800 F 

Street NW, Washington, DC 20405, 

telephone 202–501–4755. Please cite
