DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Defense Acquisition Regulations System

[Docket No. DARS-2018-0008; OMB 0704-0574]


Information Collection Requirement; Defense Federal Acquisition 
Regulation Supplement; Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: Defense Acquisition Regulation System, Department of Defense 
(DoD).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Defense Acquisition Regulations System has submitted to 
OMB for clearance, the following proposal for collection of information 
under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act.

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by July 18, 
2019.
    Title, Associated Forms, and OMB Number: Defense Federal 
Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Part 215; Only One Offer and 
Related Clauses at 252.215; OMB Control Number 0704-0574.
    Type of Request: New Collection.
    Number of Respondents: 2,079.
    Responses per Respondent: Approximately 1.73.
    Annual Responses: 3,593.
    Average Burden per Response: Approximately 37.7 hours.
    Annual Burden Hours: 135,330.
    Needs and Uses: This notice is for a new information collection for 
DFARS proposed rule 2017-D009, Only One Offer, that DoD published in 
the Federal Register at 83 FR 30656 on June 29, 2018. This information 
collection pertains to information that an offeror/contractor must 
submit to DoD if only one offer was received in response to a 
competitive solicitation, and the contracting officer must now request 
certified cost or pricing data, because of the revised standard for 
adequate price competition that is applicable to DoD, NASA, and the 
Coast Guard. This information collection requirement implements Cost or 
Pricing Data--Truth in negotiations, 10 U.S.C. 2306a, as amended by 
section 822 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal 
Year (FY) 2017 (Pub. L. 114-328). To the extent that 10 U.S.C. 23906a 
is the same as 41 U.S.C. chapter 35, information collection 
requirements are covered under OMB clearance 9000-0013. However, 
section 822 of the NDAA for FY 2017 changes the standard for adequate 
price competition for DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard. This supporting 
statement addresses only the additional burden for DoD, as implemented 
in DFARS provisions 252.215-7008, Only One Offer; and 252.215-7010, 
Requirements for Certified Cost or Pricing Data and Data Other Than 
Certified Cost or Pricing Data. The information obtained through DFARS 
252.215-7008, Only One Offer, and 252.215-7010, Requirements for 
Certified Cost or Pricing Data and Data Other Than Certified Cost or 
Pricing Data, is used to determine whether the offered price is fair 
and reasonable and to meet the statutory requirement for certified cost 
or pricing data.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for- profit 
institutions.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or maintain benefits.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
    Written comments and recommendations on the proposed information 
collection should be sent to Ms. Seehra at the Office of Management and 
Budget, Desk Officer for DoD, Room 10236, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503.
    You may also submit comments, identified by docket number and 
title, by the following method:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. 
Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
    DoD Clearance Officer: Ms. Angela James.
    Requests for copies of the information collection proposal should 
be sent to Ms. James at [email protected].
