SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    FAR 22.1103 requires that all professional employees are 
compensated fairly and properly. Accordingly, FAR 52.222-46, Evaluation 
of Compensation for Professional Employees, is required to be inserted 
in solicitations for negotiated service contracts when the

[[Page 58257]]

contract amount is expected to exceed $650,000 and the service to be 
provided will require meaningful numbers of professional employees. The 
purpose of the provision at FAR 52.222-46 is to require offerors to 
submit for evaluation a total compensation plan setting forth proposed 
salaries and fringe benefits for professional employees working on the 
contract. Plans indicating unrealistically low professional employees' 
compensation may be assessed adversely as one of the factors considered 
in making a contract award.

B. Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden

    Respondents: 12,921.
    Responses per Respondent: 3.
    Total Responses: 38,763.
    Hours per Response: 1.333333.
    Total Burden Hours: 51,684.

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary; 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

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.
