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. John R. Bashista, Director, Office of Acquisition Management.

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:

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.
