SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.244-2, Subcontracts, 
requires prime contractors to provide contracting officers notification 
before the award of any cost-plus-fixed-fee subcontract, or certain 
fixed-price subcontracts. This requirement for advance notification is 
driven by statutory requirements in 10 U.S.C. 2306 and 41 U.S.C. 3905. 
FAR clause 52.244-2 also requires prime contractors to get consent to 
subcontract for cost-reimbursement, time-and-materials, labor-hour, or 
letter contracts, and also for unpriced actions under fixed-price 
contracts that exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.
    The objective of requiring consent to subcontract, as discussed in 
FAR Part 44, is to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness with which 
the contractor spends Government funds, and complies with Government 
policy when subcontracting. The Government requires a contractor to 
provide certain information (e.g., subcontractor's name, type of 
subcontract, price, description of supply or services, etc.) reasonably 
in advance of placing a subcontract to

[[Page 41502]]

ensure that the proposed subcontract is appropriate for the risks 
involved and consistent with current policy and sound business 
judgment. The information provides the Government a basis for granting, 
or withholding consent to subcontract.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Based on information from the Federal Procurement Data System 
(FPDS) regarding contracts that would be required to provide 
information pursuant to FAR clause 52.244-2, an upward adjustment is 
being made to the number of respondents. As a result, an upward 
adjustment is being made to the estimated annual reporting burden hours 
since the notice regarding the previous extension to this clearance was 
published in the Federal Register at 77 FR 56644, on September 13, 
2012.
    Number of Respondents: 6,601.
    Responses per Respondent: 3.
    Total Responses: 19,803.
    Average Burden Hours per Response: 1.846.
    Total Burden Hours: 36,557.

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
functions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (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. 9000-0149, Subcontract Consent, in all correspondence.
