SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, DoD

the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has 
approved this information collection requirement for use under Control 
Number 0704-0479 through August 31, 2024. DoD proposes that OMB approve 
an extension of the information collection requirement, to expire three 
years after the approval date.

    Needs and Uses: The contract clause at DFARS 252.242-7005, 
Contractor Business Systems, requires contractors to respond to written 
determinations of significant deficiencies in the contractor's business 
systems as defined in the clause. The information contractors are 
required to submit in response to findings of significant deficiencies 
in their accounting system, estimating system, material management and 
accounting system and purchasing system has previously been approved by 
the Office of Management and Budget under separate clearance requests. 
This information collection specifically addresses information required 
by DFARS clause 252.234-7002, Earned Value Management System, for 
contractors to respond to determinations of significant deficiencies in 
a contractor's Earned Value Management System (EVMS). The requirements 
apply to entities that are contractually required to maintain an EVMS. 
DoD needs this information to document actions to correct significant 
deficiencies in a contractor's EVMS. DoD contracting officers use the 
information to mitigate the risk of unallowable and unreasonable costs 
being charged on government contracts.
