Needs and Uses: This information collection is used by contracting

considerations in the acquisition of supplies, and in acquiring
transportation or transportation-related services. This revision
reflects a transfer of reporting requirements currently approved under
OMB Control Number 0704-0187 that more appropriately belong under this
clearance. The information collection includes requirements relating to
DFARS Part 247, Transportation. DFARS 252.247.7000(a) requires
contractors for stevedoring services to notify the contracting officer
of unusual conditions associated with loading or unloading a particular
cargo for potential adjustment of the contract labor rates. DFARS
252.247-7001 requires contractors for stevedoring services, under
contracts awarded using sealed bidding procedures, to notify the
contracting officer of certain changes in the wage rates or benefits
that apply to its direct labor employees, for potential adjustment to
the existing contract commodity, activity, or work-hour prices. DFARS
252.247-7002 permits contractors for stevedoring services, under
contracts awarded using negotiation procedures, to deliver a written
demand that the parties negotiate to revise the prices under the
contract, DFARS 252.247-7007(f) requires contractors for stevedoring
services to furnish the contracting officer with satisfactory evidence
of insurance before performance of any work under the contract. DFARS
252.247-7022 requires the offeror to represent whether it anticipates
that supplies will be transported by sea in the performance of any
resulting contract or subcontract. DFARS 252.247-7023(c) requires the
contractor to submit a written request to the contracting officer for
use of other than U.S. flag vessels in the performance of the contract.
DFARS 252.247-7023(d) requires the contractor to submit to the
contracting officer, one copy of the rated on board vessel operating
carrier's ocean bill of lading. DFARS 252.247-7023(e) requires the
contractor to provide, with its final invoice, a representation that:
(1) no ocean transportation was used in the performance of the
contract; (2) only U.S. flag vessels were used for all ocean shipments
under the contract; (3) the contractor had the written consent of the
contracting officer for all non-U.S.-flag ocean transportation; or (4)
shipments were made on non-U.S.-flag vessels without the written
consent of the contracting officer. DFARS 252.247-7024(a) requires the
contractor to notify the contracting officer when the contractor learns
that supplies are to be transported by sea and the contractor
indicated, in response to the solicitation, that it did not anticipate
transporting any supplies by sea.
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.
