automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) has approved this information 

collection requirement for use through 

November 30, 2008. DoD proposes that 

OMB extend its approval for use for 

three additional years.

Federal Acquisition Regulation 

Supplement (DFARS) Part 217, Special 

Contracting Methods, and related 

provisions and clauses at DFARS 

252.217; OMB Control Number 0704–

0214. 

Needs and Uses: Contracting officers 

need the information required by 

DFARS Part 217 and the related 

provisions and clauses to determine the 

economic advantage of exchange (tradein) of personal property; to permit 

definitization of contract actions; to 

determine the reasonableness of 

proposed prices; to determine that a 

contractor is adequately insured; to 

determine the appropriate course of 

action in the event of loss or damage to 

a vessel; to provide for competition in 

future acquisitions; and to determine 

the need for ‘‘over and above’’ work. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit and not-for-profit institutions. 

Annual Burden Hours: 1,113,124. 

Number of Respondents: 54,181. 

Responses Per Respondent: 

Approximately 2.

Summary of Information Collection 

a. Paragraph (a) of DFARS 217.7004 

requires that solicitations contemplating 

exchange (trade-in) of personal 

property, and application of the 

exchange allowance to the acquisition of 

similar property, must include a request 

for offerors to state prices for the new 

items being acquired both with and 

without any exchange allowance. 

b. Paragraph (b) of DFARS 217.7404–

3 requires the contractor to submit a 

qualifying proposal in accordance with 

the definitization schedule for an 

undefinitized contract action, unless an 

exception in DFARS 217.7404–5 

applies. A ‘‘qualifying proposal’’ is 

defined in paragraph (c) of DFARS 

217.7401 as a proposal containing 

sufficient information for DoD to do 

complete and meaningful analyses and 

audits of the information in the proposal 

and any other information that the 

contracting officer has determined that 

DoD needs to review in connection with 

the contract. 

c. Paragraph (d) of DFARS 217.7505 

permits contracting officers to include, 

in sole source solicitations for 

replenishment parts, a provision 

requiring an offeror to supply, with its 

proposal, price and quantity data on any 

Government orders for the 

replenishment part issued within the 

most recent 12 months. 

d. Paragraph (d)(3) of the clause at 

DFARS 252.217–7012 requires the 

contractor to show evidence of 

insurance under a master agreement for 

vessel repair and alteration. Paragraphs 

(f) and (g) of the clause require the 

contractor to notify the contracting 

officer of any property loss or damage 

for which the Government is liable, and 

to submit to the contracting officer a 

request for reimbursement of the cost of 

replacement or repair with supporting 

documentation. 

e. Paragraph (b) of the provision at 

DFARS 252.217–7026 requires the 

apparently successful offeror to identify 

its sources of supply. This information 

is needed to comply with the 

requirements of 10 U.S.C. 2384. 

f. Paragraphs (c) and (e) of the clause 

at DFARS 252.217–7028 require the 

contractor to submit to the contracting 

officer a work request and a proposal for 

‘‘over and above’’ work.

3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires 

that the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) provide interested 

Federal agencies and the public an early 

opportunity to comment on information 

collection requests. OMB may amend or 

waive the requirement for public 

consultation to the extent that public 

participation in the approval process 

would defeat the purpose of the 

information collection, violate State or 

Federal law, or substantially interfere 

with any agency’s ability to perform its 

statutory obligations. The IC Clearance 

Official, Regulatory Information 

Management Services, Office of 

Management, publishes that notice 

containing proposed information 

collection requests prior to submission 

of these requests to OMB. Each

grouped by office, contains the 

following: (1) Type of review requested, 

e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or
