SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

Government contracting officers may include FAR clause 52.222-32,
Construction Rate Requirements-Price Adjustment (Actual Method) in
fixed-price solicitations and contracts, subject to the Construction
Wage Rate Requirements statute under certain conditions. The conditions
are that the solicitation or contract contains option provisions to
extend the term of the contract and the contracting officer determines
that the most appropriate method to adjust the contract price at option
exercise is to use a computation method based on the actual increase or
decrease from a new or revised Department of Labor Construction Wage
Rate Requirements statute wage determination.
The clause requires that a contractor submit at the exercise of
each option to extend the term of the contract, a statement of the
amount claimed for incorporation of the most current wage determination
by the Department of Labor, and any relevant supporting data, including
payroll records, that the contracting officer may reasonably require.
The information is used by Government contracting officers to establish
the contract price adjustment for the construction requirements of a
contract, generally if the contract requirements are predominantly
services subject to the Service Contract Labor Standards.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

Respondents: 842.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 842.
Hours per Response: 40.
Total Burden Hours: 33,680.

C. Public Comments

Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
functions of the FAR, and whether it will have practical utility;
whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection of
information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and
methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and ways in which we can minimize the
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond,
through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the
information collection documents from the General Services
Administration, Regulatory Secretariat Division (MVCB), 1800 F Street
NW., Washington, DC 20405, telephone 202-501-4755. Please cite OMB
Control No. 9000-0154, Construction Rate Requirements-Price Adjustment
