All comments received will be posted without change to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal and/or business confidential information provided. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Michael O. Jackson, Procurement Analyst, Office of Governmentwide Acquisition Policy, GSA, 208-208-4949 or via email at [email protected]. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Purpose The policies implemented at FAR 37.115, Uncompensated Overtime, are based on Section 834 of Public Law 101-510 (10 U.S.C. 2331). The policies require insertion of FAR provision 52.237-10, Identification of Uncompensated Overtime, in all solicitations valued above the simplified acquisition threshold, for professional or technical services to be acquired on the basis of the number of hours to be provided. The provision requires that offerors identify uncompensated overtime hours, in excess of 40 hours per week, and the uncompensated overtime rate for direct charge Fair Labor Standards Act-exempt personnel. This permits Government contracting officers to ascertain cost realism of proposed labor rates for professional employees and discourages the use of uncompensated overtime. B. Annual Reporting Burden The burden placed on offerors is the time required to identify and support any hours in excess of 40 hours per week included in their proposal or subcontractor's proposal. It is estimated that there will be 17,500 service [[Page 43779]] contracts awarded annually at $100,000 or more, of which 65 percent or 11,375 contracts will be competitively awarded. About 7 proposals will be received for each contract award. Of the total 79,625 (11,375 x 7) proposals received, only 25 percent or 19,906 proposals are expected to include uncompensated overtime hours. It is estimated that offerors will take about 30 minutes to identify and support any hours in excess of 40 hours per week included in their proposal or subcontractor's proposal. Number of Respondents: 19,906. Responses Per Respondent: 1. Total Annual Responses: 19,906. Average Burden Hours Per Response: .5. Total Burden Hours: 9,953. 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. 9000-0152, Service Contracting, in all correspondence. Dated: July 20, 2015.
