SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. OMB Control Number, Title, and Any Associated Form(s):

    9000-0152, Service Contracting.

B. Need and Uses

    This clearance covers the information that offerors must submit to 
comply with the FAR requirements at FAR 52.237-10, Identification of 
Uncompensated Overtime. This provision requires offerors, when 
professional or technical services are acquired on the basis of the 
number of hours to be provided, to identify uncompensated overtime 
hours in excess of 40 hours per week, whether at the prime or 
subcontract level. This includes uncompensated overtime hours that are 
in indirect cost pools for personnel whose regular hours are normally 
charged direct.
    The contracting officer will use the collected information to 
perform an adequate cost realism analysis of the offerors' proposed 
labor rates. Proposals which include unrealistically low labor rates, 
or which do not otherwise demonstrate cost realism, will be considered 
by the contracting officer in a risk assessment and evaluated 
appropriately. The primary purpose for obtaining the information and 
using it during the source selection process is to discourage the use 
of uncompensated overtime.

C. Annual Burden

    Respondents: 20,076.
    Total Annual Responses: 20,076.
    Total Burden Hours: 10,038.

D. Public Comment

    A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register at 90 FR 
11974, on March 13, 2025. A comment was received; however, it did not 
change the estimate of the burden.
    Comment: This collection is in need of changes to improve efforts 
to avoid duplication of personnel service hours charged and possible 
overcharge of hours worked that are not part of the original agreement. 
This would be a significant cost savings measure for the Government.
    Response: The respondents' input is appreciated. Any changes to the 
collection will require rulemaking. The solicitation provision at FAR 
52.237-10 requires offerors to identify uncompensated overtime hours in 
excess of 40 hours per week in their offers. The contracting officer 
will use the collected information to perform an adequate cost realism 
analysis of the offerors' proposed labor rates.
    Obtaining Copies: Requesters may obtain a copy of the information 
collection documents from the GSA Regulatory Secretariat Division by

Control No. 9000-0152, Service Contracting.
