DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Office of the Secretary
Submission for OMB Review Comment Request
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department of Defense has submitted to OMB for clearance, the
following proposal for collection of information under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Title, Associated form, and OMB number: Defense Federal Acquisition
Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Part 230, Cost Accounting Standards, and
DD Form 1861, Contract Facilities Capital Cost of Money; DD Form 1861;
OMB Number 0704-0267.
Type of Request: Revision.
Number of Respondents: 25,609.
Responses Per Respondent: 1.6 (approximately).
Annual Responses: 42,058.
Average Burden Per Response: 10 hours.
Annual Burden Hours: 420,580.
Needs and Uses: It is Department of Defense policy to encourage
contractor investment in facilities, which may lead, under DoD
contracts, to increased productivity and reduced costs through the use
of modern manufacturing technology. To motivate aggressive capital
investment, DoD rewards contractors by recognizing contract facilities
capital cost of money (CFCCM) and facilities capital employed in
establishing the price of certain negotiated defense contracts, when
such contracts are priced on the basis of cost analysis. DD Form 1861,
Contract Facilities Capital Cost of Money, is used to compute these two
elements of price. The contracting officer may require information from
the contractor to complete this form. The CFCCM amount is used to help
establish a price objective in negotiated contracts. The facilities
capital employed amount is carried forward to DD Form 1547, Record of
Weighted Guidelines Method Application, for the purpose of developing
profit objectives on defense contracts when the Weighted Guidelines
method is used. DFARS 230.7004-2, DD Form 1861, indicates that: (1)
Completion of the DD Form 1861 requires information not included on the
Form CASB-CMF; and (2) the contracting officer could request
information through a solicitation provision.
Affected Public: Business or Other For-Profit; Not-For-Profit
Institutions.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
OMB Desk Officer: Mr. Peter N. Weiss.
Written comments and recommendations on the proposed information
collection should be sent to Mr. Weiss at the Office of Management and
Budget, Desk Officer for DoD, Room 10236, New Executive Office
