Clearance Request for Certification of Commercial Pricing
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
(9000-0105).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Certification of Commercial Pricing.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Beverly Fayson, Office of Federal
Acquisition Policy, GSA (202) 501-4755.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
This clearance covers the extension of reporting requirements as
required by 41 U.S.C. 253e on Certification of Commercial Pricing. The
clauses at FAR 52.215-32 and 52.215-35 require that offerors/
contractors certify to the best of their knowledge and belief that
prices offered for certain spare or repair parts that the contractor
offers for sale to the public are no higher than the lowest commercial
sales price at which such parts were sold during the most recent
regular monthly, quarterly, or other period for which sales data are
reasonably available, provided that in no event shall this period be
less than 30 days in duration. All items for which prices offered are
higher than the lowest commercial sales price discussed above must be
identified and a written justification for the differences supplied.
The commercial pricing information is used by contracting officers
to ensure that the Government does not pay prices for commercial spare
and repair parts that exceed the lowest commercial sales prices at
which such items are sold by the contractor to the general public
unless the price differences are justified. Without the information,
the Government may pay prices for such supplies that are higher than
prices paid by other customers.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is
estimated to average 120 hours 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,
303; responses per respondent, 1; total annual responses, 303;
preparation hours per response, 120; and total response burden hours,
36,360.
C. Annual Recordkeeping Burden
The annual recordkeeping burden is estimated as follows:
Recordkeepers, 303; hours per recordkeeper, 160; and total
recordkeeping burden hours, 48,480.

applications or justifications from the General Services
Administration, FAR Secretariat (VRS), room 4037, Washington, DC 20405,
