## A. Purpose

This FAR requirement implements the statutory requirements of Sec. 834, Public Law 101-510, concerning uncompensated overtime. The coverage requires that offerors identify uncompensated overtime hours and the uncompensated overtime rate for direct charge Fair Labor Standards Act-exempt personnel. These overtime hours and rates are included in the offeror's proposals and their subcontractor's proposals for procurements valued at or above the simplified acquisition threshold. This permits Government contracting officers to ascertain cost realism of proposed labor rates for professional employees.
