SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose-

    FAR 15.812-1(c) and the clause at FAR 52.215-26, Integrity of Unit 
Prices, require offerors and contractors under Federal contracts to 
identify in their proposals those supplies which they will not 
manufacture or to which they will not contribute significant value. The 
policies included in the FAR are required by section 501 of Public Law 
98-577 (for the civilian agencies) and section 927 of Public Law 99-500 
(for DOD and NASA). The rule eliminates reporting requirements on 
contracts with civilian agencies for commercial items.-

B. Annual Reporting Burden -

    Public reporting burden for this collection of information is 
estimated to average 5 minutes per line item, including the time for 
reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and 
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the 
collection of information.-
    The annual reporting burden is estimated as follows: Respondents, 
7,822; responses per respondent, 95; total annual responses, 743,090; 
preparation hours per response, .084; and total response burden hours, 
62,420.

OBTAINING COPIES OF PROPOSALS: Requester may obtain copies of 
justifications from the General Services Administration, FAR 
Secretariat (MVRS), Room 4037, Washington, DC 20405, telephone (202) 
501-2164. Please cite OMB Control No. 9000-0080, Integrity of Unit 
Prices, in all correspondence.

    Dated: June 18, 1996.
