Sec. 1615.406-2  Certificate of accurate cost or pricing data for 
community-rated carriers.

    The contracting officer will require a carrier with a contract 
meeting the requirements in 1615.402(c)(2) or 1615.402(c)(3) to execute 
the Certificate of Accurate Cost or Pricing Data contained in this 
section. A carrier with a contract meeting the requirements in 
1615.402(c)(2) will complete the Certificate and keep it on file at the 
carrier's place of business in accordance with 1652.204-70. A carrier 
with a contract meeting the requirements in 1615.402(c)(3) will submit 
the Certificate to OPM along with its rate reconciliation, which is 
submitted during the first quarter of the applicable contract year.

    Certificate of Accurate Cost or Pricing Data for Community-Rated 
                                Carriers

    This is to certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief: (1) 
The cost or pricing data submitted (or, if not submitted, maintained and 
identified by the carrier as supporting documentation) to the 
Contracting officer or the Contracting officer's representative or 
designee, in support of the --------*FEHB Program rates were developed 
in accordance with the requirements of 48 CFR Chapter 16 and the FEHB 
Program contract and are accurate, complete, and current as of the date 
this certificate is executed; and (2) the methodology used to determine 
the FEHB Program rates is consistent with the methodology used to 
determine the rates for the carrier's Similarly Sized Subscriber Groups.
