SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title and OMB Number: Subcontracting Policies and Procedures--DFARS 
Part 244; OMB Control Number 0704-0253.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Number of Respondents: 36.
    Responses per Respondent: 2.
    Annual Responses: 72.
    Average Burden per Response: 8 hours.
    Annual Burden Hours: 576.
    Needs and Uses: Contracting officers use the information provided 
in contractor responses to initial and final business system 
determinations as a basis for either approving or disapproving the 
contractor's purchasing system. DFARS 244.305-71, Contractor Purchasing 
System, prescribes the use of the following clause and its alternate:
    a. DFARS clause 252.244-7001, Contractor Purchasing System 
Administration--Basic, which is prescribed for use in solicitations and 
contracts containing the clause at FAR 52.244-2, Subcontracts.
    b. DFARS clause 252.244-7001, Contractor Purchasing System 
Administration--Alternate I, which is prescribed for use in 
solicitations and contracts that contain DFARS clause 252.246-7007, 
Contractor Counterfeit Electronic Part Detection and Avoidance System, 
but do not contain FAR 52.244-2, Subcontracts.
    The basic clause and its alternate provide the criteria necessary 
for

[[Page 15193]]

contractors to establish an acceptable purchasing system. Paragraph 
(d)(2) of the clause requires the contractor to respond within 30 days 
to the contracting officer's written initial determination that 
significant deficiencies exist in the contractor's purchasing system. 
If the contractor disagrees with the initial determination, the 
contractor responds, providing rationale for disagreeing. Paragraph (e) 
of both the clause and its Alternate requires the contractor to respond 
within 45 days to the contracting officer's final determination that 
significant deficiencies exist, and to either correct the significant 
deficiencies or submit an acceptable corrective action plan showing 
milestones and actions.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for profit 
institutions.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
