This clearance covers the information
that a contractor must submit to comply with the requirements in
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.244-2, Subcontracts,
regarding consent to subcontract, advance notification, and
Contractors’ purchasing system review. This justification supports
revision and extension of the expiration date of OMB Control No.
9000-0149 and combines it with the previously approved information
collection OMB Control No. 9000-0132, with the new title
“Subcontract Consent and Contractors’ Purchasing System
Review”.
There were adjustments to the
burden published in the 60-day notice at 83 FR 42651 for each
information collection, based on the following: a) Consent to
subcontract – The total annual burden decreased by 4,725 hours
(23,202 hours to 18,477), due to a more current count from DCMA of
approved defense contractor purchasing systems and to account for
the approved purchasing systems of civilian agency contractors not
previously accounted for. b) Advance notification – No change from
the 60-day notice. c) Contractors’ Purchasing System Reviews – The
total annual burden increased by 12,150 hours (26,250 hours to
38,400 hours). DoD has completed an evaluation by the CPSR
program’s subject matter experts and based on their internal
evaluation of the labor hours used for completion of a CPSR review;
the burden estimates were adjusted upwards for a more accurate
representation of the process.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
