[OMB Control No. 9000-0015]
Clearance Request for Contractor Inventory Schedules
AGENCIES: Department of Defense (DOD), General Services Administration
(GSA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
ACTION: Notice of request for an extension to an existing OMB clearance
(9000-0015).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980
(44 U.S.C. 3501), the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Secretariat
has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request to
review and approve an extension of a currently approved information
collection requirement concerning Contractor Inventory Schedules.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Beverly Fayson, Office of Federal Acquisition Policy, GSA (202) 501-
4655.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
The series of standard forms covering contractors' inventories are
essential for reporting, redistribution, and disposal of excess
Government property at contractor plants (upon contract completion) and
contractor termination inventory in support of contractor termination
settlement proposals.
The contractor who is accountable for the property or who is
submitting a termination settlement proposal is responsible for
completing the inventory schedules.
These inventory schedules are the only means by which contractors
report excess contractor inventory and by which the Government is able
to achieve screening, redistribution and disposal of such property.
They are also the only means of contractors supporting the inventory
portion of their termination settlement proposals and accounting for
Government property in their possession. Thus, this information is not
available to those requiring it from any other source.
A variety of activities utilize these inventory schedules. Thus,
the Termination Contracting Officer and the cognizant audit agency use
the schedules in evaluating the termination charges being claimed under
terminated Government contracts. The Property Administrator of the
contract administration office uses the schedules to ensure that the
contractor has accounted for all Government property in its possession.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is
estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for
reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate
or any other aspect of this collection of information, including
suggestions for reducing this burden, to General Services
Administration, FAR Secretariat, 18th & F Streets, NW, Room 4037,
Washington, DC 20405, and to the FAR Desk Officer, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget,
Washington, DC 20503.
The annual reporting burden is estimated as follows: Respondents,
12,500; responses per respondent, 4; total annual responses, 50,000;
preparation hours per response, 1; and total response burden hours,
50,000.
OBTAINING COPIES OF PROPOSALS: Requester may obtain copies of OMB
applications or justifications from the General Services
Administration, FAR Secretariat (VRS), Room 4037, Washington, DC 20405,
telephone (202) 501-4755. Please cite OMB Control No. 9000-0015,
Contractor Inventory Schedules, in all correspondence.
Dated: March 7, 1995.
Beverly Fayson,
FAR Secretariat.
