SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    Section 743(a) of Division C of the Consolidated Appropriations 
Act, 2010 (Pub. L. 111-117) requires executive agencies covered by the 
Federal Activities Inventory Reform (FAIR) Act (Pub. L. 105-270), 
except DoD, to submit to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
annually an inventory of activities performed by service contractors. 
DoD is exempt from this reporting requirement because 10 U.S.C. 2462 
and 10 U.S.C. 2330a(c) already require DoD to develop an annual service 
contract inventory.
    House Report 111-366 notes, in connection with section 743, that, 
``in the absence of complete and reliable information on the extent of 
their reliance on service contractors, Federal agencies are not well-
equipped to determine whether they have the right balance of contractor 
and in-house resources needed to accomplish their missions. Therefore, 
this rule intends to supplement agency annual service contract 
reporting requirements with the contractor provided service contract 
reporting information.
    The information is to be submitted pursuant to clauses 52.204-14 
and 52.204-15. Certain prime service contractors will provide 
annually--
    a. The contract number, and, as applicable, order number;
    b. The total dollar amount invoiced for services performed during 
the previous Government fiscal year under the contract;
    c. The number of contractor direct labor hours expended on the 
services performed during the previous Government fiscal year; and
    d. Data reported by subcontractors.
    The prime contractor shall require each first-tier subcontractor 
performing under the contract to provide annually--
    a. The subcontract number (including subcontractor name and if 
available, Unique Entity Identifier number; and
    b. The number of first-tier subcontractor direct-labor hours 
expended on the services performed during the previous Government 
fiscal year.
    In order to invoice the government for time-and-material/labor-hour 
(T&M/LH) and cost-reimbursement contracts, contractors already track 
labor hours expended, so the rule will cover T&M/LH and cost-
reimbursement contracts over the simplified acquisition threshold.
    Fixed price contracts are covered if the estimated total value is 
at $500,000 or more in FY 2016 and thereafter.
    For indefinite-delivery contracts, including but not limited to, 
indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, Federal 
Supply Schedule (FSS) contracts, Governmentwide Acquisition contracts 
(GWACs), and multi-agency contracts, reporting requirements will be 
determined based on the expected dollar amount and type of the orders 
issued under the contracts.
    The burden has increased from the one in Federal Register Notice 78 
FR 16268 dated March 14, 2013 due to more respondents being included in 
the overall total based on FY 2016 FPDS data. The threshold for Fixed-
price contract reports are now covered if the estimated total value is 
at $500,000 or more.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 111,172.
    Responses/respondent: 1.
    Total annual Responses: 111,172.
    Preparation hours per response: 2.
    Total response burden hours: 222,344.

[[Page 39585]]

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
functions of the FAR, and 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.
    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. Please cite OMB 
Control No. 9000-0179, Service Contracts Reporting Requirements, in all 
correspondence.
