    Abstract: This ICR is an extension of existing information 
collection activities required under the Federal Acquisition 
Regulations (FAR) at 48 CFR 4.804 and 4.805. Under these regulations, 
EPA contractors completing cost-reimbursement contracts must provide 
EPA with summary information of all costs incurred in the performance

summary information on the major expenditures under the contract, such 
as direct labor, direct material and supplies, equipment, travel, and 
subcontract costs. There are no recordkeeeping requirements.
    This information is used by the EPA to determine the final amount 
of reimbursable costs to the contractor. The EPA contracting officer 
reviews and reconciles this information with EPA's internal records. 
After the information is verified through this audit, a final payment 
is made to the contractor.
    Burden Statement: Public reporting burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average 0.66 hours per response, including 
time for reviewing instructions, searching existing information 
sources, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.

profit institutions, small businesses or organizations
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 300.
