SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

FAR subpart 50.1 prescribes policies 

and procedures that allow contracts to 

be entered into, amended, or modified 

in order to facilitate national defense 

under the extraordinary emergency 

authority granted under 50 U.S.C. 1431 

et seq. and Executive Order (E.O.) 10789 

dated November 14, 1958, et seq. 

This authority applies to the 

Government Printing Office; the 

Department of Homeland Security; the 

Tennessee Valley Authority; the 

National Aeronautics and Space 

Administration; the Department of 

Defense; the Department of the Army; 

the Department of the Navy; the 

Department of the Air Force; the 

Department of the Treasury; the 

Department of the Interior; the 

Department of Agriculture; the 

Department of Commerce; and the 

Department of Transportation. Also 

included is the Department of Energy 

for functions transferred to that 

Department from other authorized 

agencies and any other agency that may 

be authorized by the President. 

In order for a contractor to be granted 

relief under the FAR, specific evidence 

must be submitted which supports the 

firm’s assertion that relief is appropriate 

and that the matter cannot be disposed 

of under the terms of the contract. 

FAR 50.103–3 specifies the minimum 

information that a contractor must 

include in a request for contract 

adjustment in accordance with FAR 50– 

103–1 and 50.103–2. 

FAR 50–103–4 sets forth additional 

information that the contracting officer 

or other agency official may request 

from the contractor to support any 

request made under FAR 50.103–3. 

FAR 50.104–3 sets forth the 

information that the contractor shall 

include in a request for the 

indemnification clause to cover 

unusually hazardous or nuclear risks. 

FAR 52.250–1, Indemnification under 

Public Law 850804, requires in 

paragraph (g) that the contractor shall 

promptly notify the contracting officer 

of any claim or action against, or loss 

by, the contractor or any subcontractors 

that may reasonably to involve 

indemnification under the clause. 

The information is used by the 

Government to determine if relief can be 

granted under FAR and to determine the 

appropriate type and amount of relief. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

Respondents: 28. 

Responses per Respondent: About 6. 

Total Responses: 164.

C. Public Comments 

Public comments are particularly 

invited on: Whether this collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of functions of the Federal 

Acquisition Regulations (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.
