SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. OMB Control Number, Title, and 

Any Associated Form(s) 

9000–0061, Federal Acquisition 

Regulation Part 47: Transportation 

Requirements. 

B. Need and Uses 

This clearance covers the information 

that contractors must submit to comply 

with the following requirements in FAR 

part 47: 

• FAR 52.247–2, Permits, Authorities, 

or Franchises. The clause requires an 

offeror to indicate whether it has the 

proper authorization from the Federal 

Highway Administration (or other 

cognizant regulatory body) before it can 

be allowed to move material under any 

contract for regulated freight 

transportation or transportation-related 

services. The offeror may also be 

requested to furnish a copy of the 

authorization before moving material 

under the contract. The contracting 

officer and transportation office review 

the information to ensure that the 

offeror has complied with all regulatory 

requirements and has obtained any 

permits, licenses, or franchises that are 

needed to transport the supplies. 

• FAR 52.247–6, Financial Statement. 

This provision requires an offeror to 

furnish the Government with a current 

certified statement of the offeror’s 

financial condition and such data as the 

Government may request with respect to 

the offeror’s operations. The contracting 

officer uses this information to 

determine whether a potential awardee 

is responsible in accordance with FAR 

part 9. 

• FAR 52.247–48, F.o.b. Destination— 

Evidence of Shipment. This clause 

requires the contractor to retain and 

make available to the Government for 

review, as necessary, evidence of free on 

board (f.o.b.) destination shipment 

documentation for a period of three 

years after final payment of the contract. 

The Government may request this 

information from the contractor while 

auditing a contract or to resolve 

disputes. 

• FAR 52.247–51, Evaluation of 

Export Offers. This provision requires 

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 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 169 / Friday, September 3, 2021 / Notices 49535 

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.

promote continuing education on adult 

immunization for their membership, 

and award funds to up to 7 subspecialty 

societies (for CMSS) and to the 

Foundation (for AMDA) to systematize 

routine delivery of adult 

immunizations. The funded 

subrecipients (i.e., CMSS subspecialty 

societies and AMDA’s Foundation) 

should also fund staff at the national 

level and in regional chapters to update 

vaccination policies and encourage use 

of adult vaccinations as quality 

measures. Funded CMSS subspecialty 

societies and AMDA’s Foundation 

should also contract with 7–10
