AGENCY: Defense Acquisition Regulations System, Department of Defense

ACTION: Notice and request for comments regarding a proposed extension 
of an approved information collection requirement.

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

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, DoD 
announces the proposed extension of a public information collection 
requirement and seeks public comment on the provisions thereof. DoD 
invites comments on: whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of DoD, including 
whether the information will have practical utility; the accuracy of 
the estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection; ways 
to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and ways to minimize the burden of the information 
collection on respondents, including the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology. The Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) has approved this information collection 
for use through September 30, 2022. DoD proposes that OMB extend its 
approval for use for three additional years beyond the current 
expiration date.

DATES: DoD will consider all comments received by August 22, 2022.

    Title and OMB Number: Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation 
Supplement (DFARS) Part 228, Bonds and Insurance, and related clauses

    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit 
institutions.

    Number of Respondents: 274.

    Annual Responses: 274.
    Average Burden per Response: 2 hours, approximately.
    Annual Burden Hours: 548.
    Reporting Frequency: On occasion.
    Needs and Uses: DoD uses the information obtained through this 
collection to determine (1) the allowability of a contractor's costs of 
providing war-hazard benefits to its employees; (2) the need for an 
investigation regarding an accident that occurs in connection with a 
contract; and (3) whether a non-Spanish contractor performing a service 
or construction contract in Spain has adequate insurance coverage. 
DFARS 252.228-7000, Reimbursement for War-Hazard Losses, requires the 
contractor to provide notice and supporting documentation to the 
contracting officer regarding potential claims, open claims, and 
settlements providing war-hazard benefits to contractor employees. 
DFARS 252.228-7005, Accident Reporting and Investigation Involving 
Aircraft, Missiles, and Space Launch Vehicles, requires the contractor 
to report promptly to the administrative contracting officer all 
pertinent facts relating to each accident involving an aircraft, 
missile, or space launch vehicle being manufactured, modified, 
repaired, or overhauled in connection with the contract. DFARS 252.228-
7006, Compliance with Spanish Laws and Insurance, requires the 
contractor to provide the contracting officer with a written 
representation that the contractor has obtained the required types of 
insurance in the minimum amounts specified in the clause, when 
performing a service or construction contract in Spain.
