Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

ACTION: Notice. 

The Department of Defense has 

submitted to OMB for clearance, the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the

Chapter 35).

Federal Acquisition Regulation 

Supplement (DFARS) Part 215.4, 

Contract Pricing, and associated clause 

at DFARS 252.215 and DD Form 1861; 

OMB Control Number 0704–0232. 

DoD is combining reporting 

requirements previously approved 

under both 0704–0267 and 0704–0232 

under this revision to 0704–0232.

Approximately 10.073 hours.

Needs and Uses: DoD contracting 

officers use DD Form 1861 in computing 

profit objectives for negotiated 

contracts. A DD Form 1861 is normally 

completed for each proposal for a 

contract for supplies or services that is 

priced and negotiated on the basis of 

cost analysis. The form enables 

contracting officers to differentiate 

profit objectives for various types of 

contractor assets (land, buildings, 

equipment). DoD needs this information 

to develop appropriate profit objectives 

when negotiating Government contracts. 

DoD contracting officers need the 

information required by DFARS 

215.407–5, Estimating systems, and the 

related contract clause at 252.215–7002, 

Cost Estimating System Requirements, 

to determine if a contractor has an 

acceptable system for generating cost 

estimates, and to monitor the correction 

of any deficiencies. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; not-for-profit institutions. 

Frequency: On Occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. 

OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Hillary Jaffe. 

Written comments and 

recommendations on the proposed 

information collection should be sent to 

Ms. Jaffe at the Office of Management 

and Budget, Desk Officer for DoD, Room
