SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    The clause at FAR 52.215-14, Integrity of Unit Prices, requires 
offerors and contractors under Federal contracts that are to be awarded 
without adequate price competition to identify in their proposals those 
supplies which they will not manufacture or to which they will not 
contribute significant value. The policies included in the FAR are 
required by 41 U.S.C. 3503 (a)(1)(A)(for the civilian agencies) and 
10.U.S.C 2306a(b)(1)(A)(i)(for DOD and NASA). The rule contains no 
reporting requirements on contracts below the simplified acquisition 
threshold, construction and architect-engineering services, utility 
services, service contracts where supplies are not required, commercial 
items, and contracts for petroleum products.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 950.
    Responses per Respondent: 10.
    Annual Responses: 9,500.
    Hours per Response: 1.
    Total Burden Hours: 9,500.

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 
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.
