    Value engineering is the technique by which contractors (1) 
voluntarily suggest methods for performing more economically and share 
in any resulting savings or (2) are required to establish a program to 
identify and submit to the Government methods for performing more 
economically. These recommendations are submitted to the Government as 
value engineering change proposals (VECP's) and they must include 
specific information. This information is needed to enable the 
Government to evaluate the VECP and, if accepted, to arrange for an 
equitable sharing plan.

estimated to average 30 hours per response, including the time for

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,

    The annual reporting burden is estimated as follows: Respondents, 
400; responses per respondent, 4; total annual responses, 1,600; 
preparation hours per response, 30; and total response burden hours, 
48,000.
