SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Supporting documents which explain in 

detail the information that the EPA will 

be collecting are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be 

viewed online at www.regulations.gov 

or in person at the EPA Docket Center, 

WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 

Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, 

DC. The telephone number for the 

Docket Center is 202–566–1744. For 

additional information about EPA’s 

public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/ 

dockets. 

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA specifically solicits 

comments and information to enable it 

to: (i) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) 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; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) 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. EPA will consider the 

comments received and amend the ICR 

as appropriate. The final ICR package 

will then be submitted to OMB for 

review and approval. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: All contractors who have 

completed an EPA cost reimbursement 

type contract will be required to submit 

EPA Form 1900–10. EPA Form 1900–10 

summarizes all costs incurred in 

performance of the contract and sets 

forth the final indirect rates. This form 

is reviewed by the contracting officer to 

determine the final costs reimbursable 

to the contractor. FAR 52.216–7 states 

that the Government will pay only the 

costs determined to be allowable by the 

contracting officer in accordance with 

FAR 31.2. Furthermore, FAR 52.216–7 

states that indirect cost rates shall be 

established for each fiscal year at the 

close of a contractor’s fiscal year. EPA 

Form 1900–10 summarizes this 

information for the entire contract 

period and provides a basis for cost 

review by contracting, finance, and 

audit personnel. As stated previously, 

FAR 4.804–5 mandates that the office 

administering the contract shall ensure 

that the costs and indirect cost rates are 

settled. 

Form Numbers: EPA Form 1900–10. 

Respondents/affected entities: All 

contractors who have completed an EPA 

cost reimbursement type contract. These 

contractors represent a wide range of 

industries which include, but are not 

limited to: North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS) code 

541511 Custom Computer Programming, 

5416 management and Consulting 

Services, 6215 medical Laboratories, 

and 541380 Testing Laboratories. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Required to complete contract close out 

and final payment. 

Estimated number of respondents: 20. 

Frequency of response: Once, at the 

end of the contract. 

Total estimated burden: 4 hours (per 

year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $8,491.00(per 

year) to all respondents, includes an 

estimated burden cost of $412.55/

respondent and an estimated cost of 

$12.00/respondent for maintenance and 

operational costs. Capital investment 

costs are not necessary for respondents 

to provide the requested information. 

Changes in Estimates: EPA estimates 

that the hourly burden will remain the 

same as reported in the previous 

information collection because there has 

been no change in the information being 

collected and approximately the same 

number of contracts remain active. 

Dated: January 28, 2015.

Abstract: This notice is a proposed 

extension of EPA ICR No. 1039.14, OMB 

Control No. 2030–0005, which is 

approved through May 31, 2015. 

Appropriate Government surveillance of 

contractor performance is required to 

give reasonable assurance that efficient 

methods and effective cost controls are 

being used for various cost-reimbursable 

and fixed-rate contracts. Per 48 CFR 

1552.211 regulations, on a monthly 

basis, the Agency requires contractors to 

provide the Contracting Officer’s 

Representative (COR) with a report 

detailing: (a) What was accomplished on 

the contract for that period, (b) 

expenditures for the same period of 

time, and (c) what is expected to be 

accomplished on the contract for the 

next month. Responses to the 

information collection are mandatory 

for contractors and are required for the 

contractors to receive monthly 

payments. 

Form numbers: 1900–68. 

Respondents/affected entities: Private 

sector. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory per 48 CFR 1552.211. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

203. 

Frequency of response: Monthly. 

Total estimated burden: 60,900 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $5,391,258 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in estimates: Please note: the 

revised estimates and burden numbers 

are included in the Supporting 

Statement that will be added to Docket 

ID No. EPA–HQ–OARM–2011–0748 for 

public review and comment. There may 

be a decrease in the number of hours in 

total estimated respondent burden down 

from 60,900 hours, as collection 

activities may decrease with improved 

tracking software and overall efficiency.
