A. OMB Control Number, Title, and 

Any Associated Form(s) 

9000–0066, Certain Federal 

Acquisition Regulation Part 22 Labor 

Requirements 

B. Need and Uses 

This clearance covers the information 

that offerors and contractors must 

submit to comply with the following 

FAR requirements: 

• FAR 52.222–2, Payment for 

Overtime Premiums. This clause 

requires the contractor to request 

authorization for overtime premiums 

costs that exceed the amount negotiated 

in the contract. The request shall 

include information on the affected 

work unit current staffing and workload, 

how a denial of the request would 

impact performance on the instant 

contract or other contracts, and reasons 

why the work cannot be performed by 

using multishift operations or by 

employing additional personnel. 

Contracting officers uses this 

information to evaluate whether the 

overtime is necessary. 

• FAR 52.222–6, Construction Wage 

Rate Requirements, and the Standard 

Form (SF) 1444. This clause requires the 

contractor to establish additional 

classifications, if any laborer or 

mechanic is to be employed in a 

classification that is not listed in the 

wage determination applicable to the 

contract. In such cases, the contractor is 

required to complete and submit an SF 

1444, Request for Authorization of 

Additional Classification and Rate, 

along with other pertinent data, 

containing the proposed additional 

classification and minimum wage rate 

including any fringe benefits payments. 

The contracting officer submits the SF 

1444 to the DOL Wage and Hour 

Division with a request for conformance 

review to determine the appropriateness 

of the request. 

• FAR 52.222–11, Subcontracts 

(Labor Standards), and the SF 1413. 

This clause requires contractors to 

submit an SF 1413, Statement and 

Acknowledgment, for each subcontract 

for construction within the United 

States, including the subcontractor’s 

signed and dated acknowledgment that 

the required labor clauses necessary to 

implement various labor statutes have 

been included in the subcontract. 

Contracting officers review the 

information on the form to ascertain 

whether contractors have included the 

required labor clauses in their 

subcontracts. 

• FAR 52.222–18, Certification 

Regarding Knowledge of Child Labor for 

Listed End Products. This provision 

(and its commercial equivalent in the 

provision at 52.212–3) requires the 

offeror, as part of its annual 

representations and certifications, to 

either certify in paragraph (c)(1) that it 

will not supply an end product of a type 

identified on the Department of Labor 

(DOL) List of Products Requiring 

Contractor Certification as to Forced or 

Indentured Child Labor (https://

www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab), or certify in 

paragraph (c)(2) that it has made a good 

faith effort to determine whether such 

child labor was used to mine, produce, 

or manufacture such end product, and 

is unaware of any such use of child 

labor. This information is used by 

Government to ensure that a good faith 

effort has been made to determine 

whether forced or indentured child 

labor was used to mine, produce, or 

manufacture any product on the List 

furnished under the contract. 

• FAR 52.222–33, Notice of 

Requirement for Project Labor 

Agreement. When a project labor 

agreement (PLA) (a pre-hire collective 

bargaining agreement described in 29 

U.S.C. 158(f)) is required for a largescale construction contract, this 

provision requires the offeror to submit 

a copy of a PLA at the time offers are 

due, prior to award, or after contract 

award as determined by the agency. 

During the evaluation of offers on a 

construction contract, the contracting 

officer reviews the offeror’s PLA to 

determine if it conforms with all 

statutes, regulations, and Executive 

Orders. 

• FAR 52.222–34, Project Labor 

Agreement. When a PLA is required for 

a construction contract, this clause 

requires the contractor to maintain the 

PLA in a current state throughout the 

life of the contract. This recordkeeping 

requirement is necessary for the 

Government to ensure that the 

contractor stays a party to the PLA 

during the life of the construction 

contract. 

• FAR 52.222–46, Evaluation of 

Compensation for Professional 

Employees. This provision requires 

offerors to submit for evaluation a total 

compensation plan setting forth 

proposed salaries and fringe benefits for 

professional employees working on the 

contract. The Government will use this 

information to determine if professional 

employees are compensated fairly and 

properly. Plans indicating 

unrealistically low professional 

employees’ compensation may be 

assessed adversely as one of the factors 

considered in making a contract award.

Total Annual Responses: 619,350. 

Total Burden Hours: 21,402 (21,231

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies 

must obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. The term ‘‘collection of 

information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 

3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and 

includes agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies 

to publish a 30-day notice in the 

Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information,

of information, before submitting the

comply with this requirement, CMS is 

publishing this notice that summarizes 

the following proposed collection(s) of

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: New collection (Request for a 

new OMB Control Number); Title of

(CAA), 2021 (Pub. L. 116–93), enacted 

December 20, 2020, included a key 

provision affecting Medicare payments 

for Graduate Medical Education (GME). 

Section 126(a) of the CAA amended 

section 1886(h) of the Act by adding a 

new section 1886(h)(9) requiring the 

distribution of additional residency 

positions (slots) to qualifying hospitals. 

Section 1886(h)(9)(A) makes an 

additional 1,000 Medicare funded 

residency slots available to be phased in 

beginning in FY 2023 until the aggregate 

number of 1,000 full-time equivalent 

residency positions are distributed. 

This approval request is for CMS to 

receive electronic applications for 

Medicare-Funded GME Residency 

Positions submitted in accordance with 

Section 126 of the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2021. The 

electronic applications will be 

submitted by the applicants in CMS’ 

new Medicare Electronic Application 

Request Information SystemTM

(MEARISTM). There is no existing, hard 

copy version of the application. The 

applications will provide CMS with the 

critical information necessary for CMS 

to process and score the applications in 

accordance with the policies finalized 

in the upcoming final rule to determine 

the disbursement of the slots and to 

announce the awardees by the January 

31, 2023 required statutory deadline.
