SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. OMB Control Number, Title, and 

Any Associated Form(s) 

9000–0048, Certain Federal 

Acquisition Regulation Part 15 

Requirements. 

B. Need and Uses 

DoD, GSA, and NASA are combining 

OMB Control Nos. for the Federal 

Acquisition Regulation (FAR) by FAR 

part. This consolidation is expected to 

improve industry’s ability to easily and 

efficiently identify burdens associated 

with a given FAR part. The review of 

the information collections by FAR part 

allows improved oversight to ensure 

there is no redundant or unaccounted 

for burden placed on industry. Lastly, 

combining information collections in a 

given FAR part is also expected to 

reduce the administrative burden 

associated with processing multiple 

information collections. 

This justification supports the 

revision of the expiration date of OMB 

Control No. 9000–0048 and combines it 

with the previously approved 

information collections under OMB 

Control No. 9000–0078, with the new 

title ‘‘Certain Federal Acquisition 

Regulation Part 15 Requirements.’’ 

Upon approval of this consolidated 

information collection, OMB Control 

No. 9000–0078 will be discontinued. 

The burden requirements previously 

approved under the discontinued 

number will be covered under OMB 

Control No. 9000–0048. 

This clearance covers the information 

that offerors and contractors must 

submit to comply with the following 

FAR requirements:

(a) A description of each major item 

or work effort; 

(b) Categorization of each major item 

or work effort as ‘‘must make,’’ ‘‘must 

buy,’’ or ‘‘can either make or buy’’; 

(c) For each item or work effort 

categorized as ‘‘can either make or buy,’’ 

a proposal either to ‘‘make’’ or to ‘‘buy’’;

contracting without adequate price 

competition.

Ownership Changes. This clause 

requires contractors to notify the 

administrative contracting officer when 

the contractor becomes aware that a 

change in its ownership has occurred, or 

is certain to occur, that could result in 

changes in the valuation of its 

capitalized assets in the accounting 

records. 

6. FAR 52.215–22, Limitations on

Subcontract Effort. This provision

to the work to be performed by the

description of the added value provided 

by the subcontractor as related to the 

work to be performed by the lower-tier 

subcontractor(s). 

7. FAR 52.215–23, Limitations on 

Pass-Through Charges. This clause 

requires contractors to provide a 

description of the value added by the 

contractor or subcontractor, as 

applicable, as related to the subcontract 

effort if the effort changes from the 

amount identified in the proposal such 

that it exceeds 70 percent of the total 

cost of work to be performed.
