SUMMARY: In compliance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), DoD announces the
proposed extension of a public information collection requirement and
seeks public comment on the provisions thereof. DoD invites comments
on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of DoD, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection; (c) ways
to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the information
collection on respondents, including the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has approved this information collection
requirement for use through September 30, 2005. DoD proposes that OMB
extend its approval for use through September 30, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title and OMB Number: Defense Federal
Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Part 217, Special Contracting
Methods, and related provisions and clauses at DFARS 252.217-7012,
Liability and Insurance, DFARS 252.217-7018, Change in Plant Location--
Bakery and Dairy Products, DFARS 252.217-7026, Identification of
Sources of Supply, and 252.217-7028, Over and Above Work; OMB Control
Number 0704-0214.
Needs and Uses: Contracting officers use the information required
by the provisions and clauses prescribed in DFARS Part 217 as follows:
The clause at DFARS 252.217-7012 is used in master agreements for
repair
[[Page 32306]]
and alteration of vessels. Contracting officers use the information
required by paragraph (d) of the clause to determine if the contractor
is adequately insured. Contracting officers use the information
required by paragraphs (f) and (g) of the clause to keep informed of
lost or damaged property for which the Government is liable, and to
determine the appropriate course of action for replacement or repair of
the property.
Contracting officers use the information required by the clause at
DFARS 252.217-7018 to determine the place of performance under
contracts for bakery and dairy products. This information helps to
ensure that food products are manufactured and processed in sanitary
facilities.
Contracting officers use the information required by the provision
at DFARS 252.217-7026 to identify the apparently successful offeror's
sources of supply so that competition can be enhanced in future
acquisitions. This collection complies with 10 U.S.C. 2384, Supplies:
identification of supplier and sources, which requires the contractor
to identify the actual manufacturer or all sources of supply for
supplies furnished under contract to DoD.
Contracting officers use the information required by the clause at
252.217-7028 to determine the extent of ``over and above'' work before
the work commences. This requirement allows the Government to review
the need for pending work before the contractor begins performance.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit
institutions.
Annual Burden Hours: 785,244.
Number of Respondents: 49,944.
Responses Per Respondent: Approximately 1.5.
Annual Responses: 75,944.
Average Burden Per Response: Approximately 10.3 hours.
Frequency: On occasion.
Summary of Information Collection
Each provision or clause requires the offeror or contractor to
submit certain information:
a. Paragraph (d)(3) of the clause at DFARS 252.217-7012 requires
the contractor to show evidence of insurance under a master agreement
for vessel repair and alteration. Paragraphs (f) and (g) of the clause
require the contractor to notify the contracting officer of any
property loss or damage for which the Government is liable, and to
submit to the contracting officer a request for reimbursement of the
cost of replacement or repair with supporting documentation.
b. Paragraphs (b) and (c) of the clause at DFARS 252.217-7018
require the offeror or contractor to obtain contracting officer
approval before changing the place of performance of a contract for
bakery or dairy products.
c. Paragraph (b) of the provision at DFARS 252.217-7026 requires
the apparently successful offeror to identify its sources of supply.
d. Paragraphs (c) and (e) of the clause at DFARS 252.217-7028
require the contractor to submit to the contracting officer a work
request and a proposal for ``over and above'' work.
