ACTION: Notice of request for public comments regarding an extension to 
an existing OMB clearance (9000-0152).

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

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(44 U.S.C. chapter 35), the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 
Secretariat will be submitting to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) a request to review and approve an extension of a currently 
approved information collection requirement concerning service 
contracting. This OMB clearance expires on May 31, 2003.
    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
functions of the FAR, and whether it will have practical utility; 
whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection of 
information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and 
methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and ways in which we can minimize the 
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, 
through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.

DATES: Submit comments on or before May 5, 2003.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, including suggestions for reducing this 
burden to the General Services Administration, FAR Secretariat (MVA), 
1800 F Street, NW., Room 4035, Washington, DC 20405.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Julia Wise, Acquisition Policy 
Division, GSA, 208-1168.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    This FAR requirement implements the statutory requirements of sec.

coverage requires that offerors identify uncompensated overtime hours 
and the uncompensated overtime rate for procurements valued at $100,000 
or more. This permits government contracting officers to ascertain cost 
realism of proposed labor rates for professional employees.

    Responses Per Respondent: 1
    Annual Responses: 19,906
