an offeror to nominate a port/terminal of 

loading they recommend for the 

purposes of evaluation of their offer and 

indicate whether the prices proposed 

are based on f.o.b. origin or f.o.b. 

destination. The contracting officer uses 

the information to ensure that offers are 

evaluated and awards are made on the 

basis of the lowest laid down cost to the 

Government at the overseas port of 

discharge. 

• FAR 52.247–52, Clearance and 

Documentation Requirements— 

Shipments to DOD Air or Water 

Terminal Transshipment Points. This 

clause directs the contractor to provide 

the Government certain information 

regarding shipments to DoD air or water 

terminal transshipment points. The 

Government transportation office uses 

this information to support applications 

for export release and to prepare the 

Transportation Control and Movement 

Document (TCMD). 

• FAR 52.247–53, Freight 

Classification Description. When the 

Government purchases supplies that are 

new to the supply system, nonstandard, 

or modifications of previously shipped 

items, and different freight 

classifications may apply, this provision 

requests an offeror provide the full 

Uniform Freight Classification (rail) 

description, or the National Motor 

Freight Classification description 

applicable to the supplies. The 

contracting officer uses this information 

to determine the proper freight for 

supplies. 

• FAR 52.247–57, Transportation 

Transit Privilege Credits. This clause 

allows the offeror to identify any 

transportation charges, including any 

transit charges, that the offeror will 

agree to pay, subject to reimbursement 

by the Government. The contracting 

officer uses this information to ensure 

consideration of an offeror’s transit 

credits when evaluating an f.o.b. origin 

price for shipping supplies to the 

designated Government destinations. 

• FAR 52.247–60, Guaranteed 

Shipping Characteristics. This clause 

requires the offeror to provide details on 

the shipping container(s) to be used for 

each part or component that is packed 

or packaged separately. The contracting 

officer uses this information to 

determine transportation costs for 

evaluation purposes. 

• FAR 52.247–63, Preference for U.S.- 

Flag Air Carriers. In the event that a 

contractor selects a carrier other than a 

U.S.-flag air carrier for international air 

transportation during performance of 

the contract, this clause requires the 

contractor to include a statement 

regarding the unavailability of U.S.-Flag 

Air Carriers on vouchers involving such 

transportation. The Government uses 

the information provided on the 

voucher to ensure compliance with 

section 5 of the International Air 

Transportation Fair Competitive 

Practices Act of 1974 (49 U.S.C. 40118), 

which requires the Government and its 

contractors and subcontractors to use 

U.S.-flag air carriers for U.S. 

Government-financed international air 

transportation of personnel (and their 

personal effects) or property, to the 

extent that service by those carriers is 

available. 

• FAR 52.247–64, Preference for 

Privately Owned U.S.-Flag Commercial 

Vessels. This clause requires a 

contractor to provide the contracting 

officer and the Maritime 

Administration’s one legible copy of 

rated on-board ocean bill of lading for 

each shipment made by the contractor 

or its subcontractors. The Government 

uses this information to ensure 

compliance with the Cargo Preference 

Act of 1954. 

• FAR 52.247–67, Submission of 

Transportation Documents for Audit. 

This clause requires the contractor to 

submit for prepayment audit 

transportation documents on which the 

United States will assume freight 

charges that were paid by the contractor 

under a cost-reimbursement contract or 

by the contractor’s first-tier 

subcontractor (for a cost-reimbursement 

subcontract). For freight shipment bills 

under $100 are to be retained on-site by 

the contractor and made available for 

on-site audits. The Government uses 

this information to conduct a 

prepayment audit of transportation 

charges on a cost-reimbursement 

contract when reimbursement of 

transportation as a direct charge to the 

contract or subcontract is authorized. 

The prepayment audit is required to 

comply with agency prepayment audit 

programs established pursuant to 31 

U.S.C. 3726. 

• FAR 52.247–68, Report of Shipment 

(REPSHIP). This clause requires 

contractors to send an advance notice of 

shipment to the consignee 

transportation officer to be received at 

least 24 hours before the arrival of the 

shipment, unless otherwise directed by 

a contracting officer. The Government 

uses this information to alert the 

receiving activity of certain shipments. 

The advance notice facilitates 

arrangements for transportation control, 

labor, space, and use of materials 

handling equipment at destination. The 

timely receipt of notices by the 

consignee transportation office 

precludes the Government from 

incurring demurrage and vehicle 

detention charges. 

• FAR 47.303, Clauses for Standard 

Delivery Terms. The following FAR 

clauses require the contractor to (as 

appropriate to the delivery terms 

specified in the contract): Prepare or 

provide special annotation on a 

Government or commercial bill of 

lading; provide an ocean bill of lading 

or airway bill; annotate commercial 

shipping documents; distribute copies 

of the bill of lading; provide applicable 

transportation receipts; assist in 

obtaining documents for exportation or 

importation destinations; and/or obtain 

insurance documents. The contracting 

officer and the Government 

transportation office use this 

information in awarding and 

administering contracts to ensure: (1) 

Acquisitions are made on the basis most 

advantageous to the Government; and 

(2) supplies arrive in good order and 

condition and on time at the required 

place.

Proposed Project 

The GAIN (Greater Access and Impact 

with NAT) Study: Improving HIV 

Diagnosis, Linkage to Care, and 

Prevention Services with HIV Point-ofCare Nucleic Acid Tests (NATs)— 

New—National Center for HIV/AIDS, 

Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention 

(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) can 

prevent HIV acquisition among persons 

at risk. To prevent the emergence of 

drug-resistant HIV strains, prior to 

initiating PrEP, persons must be tested 

for HIV to ensure that they are not 

infected. Current rapid point-of-care 

(POC) technologies do not reliably 

detect the earliest HIV infections and 

lab-based testing can introduce delays 

while patients wait for test results. 

During this time, patients can drop out 

of care and are still at high-risk to 

become HIV infected. Direct molecular 

detection of HIV through nucleic acid 

tests (NATs) can identify early HIV 

infections, which have high potential 

for transmission. NATs that are used at 

the point-of-care (POC NAT) can 

provide results in 60 to 90 minutes. 

Obtaining timely molecular test results 

from a POC NAT in clinics or 

community settings can expand 

prevention as well as HIV treatment 

services, improve our reach into 

disproportionately affected populations, 

and provide opportunities to approach 

the goal of no new HIV infections. 

CDC requests OMB approval to 

conduct the GAIN (Greater Access and 

Impact with NAT) study at two clinics 

in Seattle, Washington. GAIN is an 

implementation study to compare a 

point-of-care nucleic acid HIV test (HIV 

RNA POC NAT) to standard lab-based 

HIV testing. These data will be analyzed 

and disseminated to describe the realworld performance and clinical effects 

of HIV RNA POC NAT testing 

technology. This study will develop 

functional models to integrate HIV RNA 

POC NAT testing technology into HIV 

prevention and treatment services. 

Study activities include: 1. 

Retrospective baseline data collection 

from clinical site electronic medical 

records. This will establish baseline 

PrEP and HIV care metrics for 

comparison after study implementation; 

2. A longitudinal, prospective study of 

HIV-negative patients seeking HIV 

testing and/or PrEP services; 3. A 

longitudinal, prospective study of HIVpositive patients seeking STI testing; 4. 

An RCT of POC NAT or Standard of 

Care for HIV-positive patients; 5. A 

survey, interviews, and focus groups 

examining POC NAT acceptability 

among HIV-negative and HIV-positive 

patients; 6. A cross-sectional 

comparison of several point-of-care 

NATs among HIV-positive patients; 7. 

Acceptability/feasibility assessment 

among clinical and community 

providers and costing analyses. 

OMB approval is requested for three 

years. Participation is voluntary and 

there are no costs to respondents other 

than their time. The total estimated 

annualized burden is 1,067 hours.
