SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    When the Government awards a cost-reimbursement construction 
contract, the contractor must submit to the contracting officer--and 
keep current a chart showing the general executive and administrative 
organization--the personnel to be employed in connection with the work 
under the contract, and their respective duties. The chart is used in 
the administration of the contract and as an aid in determining cost. 
The chart is used by contract administration personnel to assure the 
work is being properly accomplished at reasonable prices.
    The burden hours under FAR 52.236-19 were reduced based on FY 2017 
FPDS data that showed the actual number of respondents for this type of 
requirement. A notice published in the Federal Register at 82 FR 51254 
on November 3, 2017. No comments were received.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 19.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 19.
    Hours per Response: .75.
    Total Burden Hours: 14.

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.

information collection documents from the General Services
