ACTION: Notice of request for public 

comments regarding an extension to an 

existing OMB clearance. 

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Federal 

Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 

Secretariat will be submitting to the 

Office of Management and Budget

an extension of a currently approved 

information collection requirement 

concerning the Davis-Bacon Act price 

adjustment (actual method). The 

clearance currently expires on March

Public comments are particularly 

invited on: Whether this collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of functions of the FAR, 

and whether it will have practical 

utility; whether our estimate of the 

public burden of this collection of 

information is accurate, and based on 

valid assumptions and methodology; 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and ways in which we can 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, through the use of appropriate 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

January 3, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

The clause at 52.222–32, Davis-Bacon 

Act—Price Adjustment (Actual 

Method), requires that a contractor must 

submit at the exercise of each option to 

extend the term of the contract, a 

statement of the amount claimed for 

incorporation of the most current wage 

determination by the Department of 

Labor, and any relevant supporting data, 

including payroll records, that the 

contracting officer may reasonably 

require. 

The contracting officer may include 

this clause in fixed-price solicitations 

and contracts, subject to the DavisBacon Act, that will contain option 

provisions to extend the term of the 

contract and the Contracting Officer 

determines the most appropriate 

method to establish contract price is the 

method at 22.404–12(c)(4). Generally, 

this method is only appropriate if 

contract requirements are 

predominantly services subject to the 

Service Contract Act and the 

construction requirements are 

substantial and segregable. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

Respondents: 900. 

Responses Per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 900. 

Hours Per Response: 90.
