SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail 
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the 
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at 
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West, 
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC. The telephone 
number for the Docket Center is 202-566-1744. For additional 
information about EPA's public docket, visit https://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting 
comments and information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of 
the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, including 
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or 
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. EPA 
will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. 
The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and 
approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice 
to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 
submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: All contractors who have completed an EPA cost-
reimbursement type contract will be required to submit EPA Form 1900-
10. EPA Form 1900-10 summarizes all costs incurred in performance of 
the contract and sets forth the final indirect rates. This form is 
reviewed by the contracting officer to determine the final costs 
reimbursable to the contractor. The Federal Acquisition Regulation 
(FAR) 52.216-7 states that the Government will pay only the costs 
determined to be allowable by the contracting officer in accordance 
with FAR Subpart 31.2. Furthermore, FAR 52.216-7 states that indirect 
cost rates shall be established for each fiscal year at the close of a 
contractor's fiscal year. EPA Form 1900-10 summarizes this information 
for the entire contract period and provides a basis for cost review by 
contracting, finance, and audit personnel. In addition, FAR 4.804-5 
mandates that the office administering the contract shall ensure that 
the costs and indirect cost rates are settled.
    Form Numbers: EPA Form 1900-10.
    Respondents/affected entities: All contractors who have completed 
an EPA cost-reimbursement type contract.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (FAR 52.216-7).
    Estimated number of respondents: 5 (total).
    Frequency of response: Once, at the end of the contract.
    Total estimated burden: 31.5 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $4,408.65 (per year), includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in Estimates: There is no change in the hours in the total 
estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by 
OMB.

Director, Office of Acquisition Management.
