[Federal Register Volume 80, Number 93 (Thursday, May 14, 2015)] [Notices] [Pages 27683-27684] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2015-11657] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY [EPA-HQ-OARM-2011-0997; FRL-9925-62-OEI] Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and Approval; Comment Request; Contractor Cumulative Claim and Reconciliation (Renewal) AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an information collection request (ICR), ``Contractor Cumulative Claim and Reconciliation (Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 0246.12, OMB Control No. 2030- 0016) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through May 31, 2015. Public comments were previously requested via the Federal Register (80 FR 6702) on February 6, 2015 during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden and cost to the public. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond [[Page 27684]] to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before June 15, 2015. ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID Number EPA-HQ- OARM-2011-0997, to (1) EPA online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred method), by email to [email protected], or by mail to: EPA Docket Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460, and (2) OMB via email to [email protected]. Address comments to OMB Desk Officer for EPA. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the public docket without change including any personal information provided, unless the comment includes profanity, threats, information claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Holly Hubbell, Policy Training and Oversight Division, Office of Acquisition Management (3802R), Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460; telephone number: 202-564-1091; fax number: 202- 565-2473; email address: [email protected]. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone number for the Docket Center is 202-566-1744. For additional information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets. Abstract: All contractors who have completed an EPA cost reimbursement type contract will be required to submit EPA Form 1900- 10. EPA Form 1900-10 summarizes all costs incurred in performance of the contract and sets forth the final indirect rates. This form is reviewed by the contracting officer to determine the final costs reimbursable to the contractor. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.216-7 states that the Government will pay only the costs determined to be allowable by the contracting officer in accordance with FAR 31.2. Furthermore, FAR 52.216-7 states that indirect cost rates shall be established for each fiscal year at the close of a contractor's fiscal year. EPA Form 1900-10 summarizes this information for the entire contract period and provides a basis for cost review by contracting, finance, and audit personnel. In addition, FAR 4.804-5 mandates that the office administering the contract shall ensure that the costs and indirect cost rates are settled. Form Numbers: EPA Form 1900-10. Respondents/affected entities: All contractors who have completed an EPA cost reimbursement type contract. Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (FAR 52.216-7). Estimated number of respondents: 5 (total). Frequency of response: Once, at the end of the contract. Total estimated burden: 32 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $3,500.65 (per year), includes $60 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 48 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This is due to the decreased number of contracts closed in the past period. Courtney Kerwin, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
