Clearance Request for Cost Accounting Standards Administration

AGENCIES: Department of Defense (DOD), General Services Administration 
(GSA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Notice of request for an amendment to an existing OMB clearance 
(9000-0129).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 
(44 U.S.C. 3501), the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Secretariat 
has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request to 
approve an amended information collection requirement concerning Cost 
Accounting Standards Administration.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Beverly Fayson, Office of Federal Acquisition Policy, GSA (202) 501-
4755.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    The clause at FAR 52.230-5, Administration of Cost Accounting 
Standards, requires contractors to send information to the prime 
contractor's ACO, who then forwards it to the ACO of the cognizant 
subcontractor. To eliminate this double step, the clause will be 
changed to require the prime contractor to send the information 
directly to the subcontractor's ACO with a duplicate copy to the prime 
contractor's ACO.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Public reporting burden for this collection of information is 
estimated to average .05 hours per response, including the time for 
reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and 
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the 
collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate 
or any other aspect of this collection of information, including 
suggestions for reducing this burden, to General Services 
Administration, FAR Secretariat, 18th & F Streets, NW., room 4037, 
Washington, DC 20405, and to the FAR Desk Officer, Office of 
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 
Washington, DC 20503.
    The annual reporting burden is estimated as follows: Respondents, 
500; responses per respondent, 50; total annual responses, 25,000; 
preparation hours per response, .05; and total response burden hours, 
1,250.

Obtaining Copies of Proposals

    Requester may obtain copies of OMB applications or justifications
