FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Kathlyn Hopkiins, Procurement Analyst, Office of Governmentwide Acquisition Policy, GSA 202-969-7226 or email [email protected]. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Purpose Firms performing under incrementally funded, cost-reimbursement Federal contracts are required to notify the contracting officer in writing whenever they have reason to believe-- (1) The costs the contractors expect to incur under the contracts in the next 60 days, when added to all costs previously incurred, will exceed 75 percent of the estimated cost of the contracts; or (2) The total cost for the performance of the contracts will be greater or substantially less than estimated. As a part of the notification, the contractors must provide a revised estimate of total cost. The frequency of this collection of information is variable, contingent upon both funding and spending patterns. A notice was published in the Federal Register at 81 FR 21873 on April 13, 2016. No comments were received. However, three changes were made to the annual reporting burden estimates conveyed in the preliminary 60-day notice. First, the initial estimate included data on certain fixed-price and cost-sharing contracts, subsequently deemed not directly impacted by the FAR clauses 52.232-20 and 52.232-22; those data points have been removed from the estimate for this collection. Accordingly, the number of contract actions has been reduced. Secondly, the number of responses per respondent has been reassessed at one per year in lieu of five; this is consistent with updated data, based on consultation with subject matter experts within the Government. Third, the estimated time to produce each funding letter was reduced from \1/2\ hour to \1/3\ hour, as office software applications continue to improve, making basic computations, word processing, and communication increasingly efficient. B. Annual Reporting Burden Respondents: 123,392. Responses per Respondent: 1. Total Annual Responses: 123,392. Hours per Response: 0.33. Total Burden Hours: 40,719. 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.
