SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. OMB Control Number, Title, and any 

Associated Form(s) 

9000–0152, Service Contracting 

B. Need and Uses 

This clearance covers the information 

that offerors must submit to comply 

with the following Federal Acquisition 

Regulation (FAR) requirement: 

• FAR 52.237–10, Identification of 

Uncompensated Overtime. This 

provision requires offerors, when 

professional or technical services are 

acquired on the basis of the number of 

hours to be provided, to identify 

uncompensated overtime hours in 

excess of 40 hours per week, whether at 

the prime or subcontract level. This 

includes uncompensated overtime 

hours that are in indirect cost pools for 

personnel whose regular hours are 

normally charged direct. 

The contracting officer will use the 

collected information to perform an 

adequate cost realism analysis of the 

offerors’ proposed labor rates. Proposals 

which include unrealistically low labor 

rates, or which do not otherwise 

demonstrate cost realism, will be 

considered by the contracting officer in 

a risk assessment and evaluated 

appropriately. The primary purpose for 

obtaining the information and using it 

during the source selection process is to 

discourage the use of uncompensated 

overtime. 

C. Annual Burden 

Respondents: 19,738. 

Total Annual Responses: 19,738. 

Total Burden Hours: 9,869.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. OMB Control Number, Title, and any 

Associated Form(s) 

9000–0079, Travel Costs 

B. Need and Uses 

This clearance covers the information 

that a contractor must submit to comply 

with the following Federal Acquisition 

Regulation (FAR) requirements: 

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 the per 

diem rates in effect as set forth in the 

Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) for 

travel in the contiguous 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 (2)(a) 

and (b) and the name of each passenger 

(required by (2)(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. 

The contracting officer will use the 

information to ensure that the 

Government does not reimburse 

contractors for excessive travel costs. 

Also, the information is used by 

Government auditors to identify 

allowable and unallowable costs under 

Government contracts. 

C. Annual Burden 

Respondents/Recordkeepers: 3,743. 

Total Annual Responses: 33,202. 

Total Burden Hours: 11,472. (7,848 

reporting hours + 3,624 recordkeeping 

hours).

obtain a copy of the information 

collection documents from the GSA 

Regulatory Secretariat Division by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. OMB Control Number, Title, and any 

Associated Form(s) 

9000–0198, Certain Federal 

Acquisition Regulation Part 9 

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. 9000–0198 and combines it 

with the previously approved 

information collections under OMB 

Control Nos. 9000–0083 and 9000–0193, 

with the new title ‘‘Certain Federal 

Acquisition Regulation Part 9 

Requirements’’. Upon approval of this
