A. Purpose

    FAR Part 31, Contract Cost Principles and Procedures, contains cost 
principles and procedures for (1) the pricing of contracts, 
subcontracts, and modifications to contracts and subcontracts whenever 
cost analysis is performed; and (2) the determination, negotiation, or 
allowance of costs when required by a contract clause. However, certain 
cost elements that are reviewed pursuant to this part require

allowability of a cost element.

3,172; responses per respondent, 1; total annual responses, 3,172;
