A. Purpose 

The information relative to the place 

of performance and owner of plant or 

facility, if other than the prospective 

contractor, is a basic requirement when 

contracting for supplies or services 

(including construction). A prospective 

contractor must affirmatively 

demonstrate its responsibility. Hence, 

the Government must be apprised of 

this information prior to award. The 

contracting officer must know the place 

of performance and the owner of the 

plant or facility to (1) determine bidder 

responsibility; (2) determine price 

reasonableness; (3) conduct plant or 

source inspections; and (4) determine 

whether the prospective contractor is a 

manufacturer or a regular dealer. 

The information is used to determine 

the prospective contractor’s eligibility 

for awards and to assure proper 

preparation of the contract. Prospective 

contractors are only required to submit 

place of performance information on an 

exceptional basis; that is, whenever the 

place of performance for a specific 

solicitation is different from the address 

of the prospective contractor as 

indicated in the proposal. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

Time required to read, prepare, and 

record information is estimated at 2.73 

minutes per completion. The Federal 

Procurement Data System (FPDS) shows 

that for fiscal year 2016, there were 

1,960,218 solicitations that would have 

contained the two provisions (including 

contracts and orders, excluding 

modifications) for manufacturing in the 

United States. The 1,960,218 actions 

will be used as the new basis for total 

annual responses. 

Respondents: 16,754. 

Responses per Respondent: 117. 

Total Responses: 1,960,218. 

Hours per Response: .0455. 

Total Burden Hours: 89,190. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit and not-for-profit. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Reporting Frequency: On occasion. 

C. Public Comments 

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.

Requesters may obtain a copy of the 

information collection documents from
