FAR Supplement Part 244; OMB Control Number 0704-0253.
    Needs and Uses: Administrative contracting officers use this 
information in making decisions to approve or disapprove a contractors 
purchase system. The disapproval of a contractor's purchasing system 
would necessitate Government consent to individual subcontracts and 
possibly prompt a financial withhold or other Government rights and 
remedies.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Respondents: 36.
    Responses per Respondent: 2.
    Annual Responses: 72.
    Hours per Response: 8.
    Estimated Hours: 576.
    Frequency: On occasion.

Summary of Information Collection

    DFARS 244.305, entitled Granting, Withholding, or Withdrawing 
Approval, provides policy guidance for administrative contracting 
officers to determine the acceptability of the contractor's purchasing 
system and approve or disprove the system, at the completion of the in-
plant portion of a contractor purchasing system review, and to pursue 
correction of any deficiencies with the contractor. DFARS clause 
252.244-7001, Contractor Purchasing System Administration requires the 
contractor to respond within 30 days to a written initial determination 
from the contracting officer that identifies significant deficiencies 
in the contractor's purchasing system. The contracting officer will 
evaluate the contractor's response to this initial determination and 
notify the contractor in writing of any remaining significant 
deficiencies, the adequacy of any proposed or completed corrective 
action and system disapproval if the contracting officer determines 
that one or more significant deficiencies remain. If the contractor 
receives the contracting officer's final determination of significant 
deficiencies, the contractor has 45 days to either correct the 
significant deficiencies or submit an acceptable corrective action 
plan.
