This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
FederalRegister.gov retrieves relevant information about this document from Regulations.gov to provide users with additional context. This information is not part of the official Federal Register document.

This clearance covers the information that contractors must submit to comply with the Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). FAR clause 52.230-6, Administration of Cost Accounting Standards, requires contractors performing CAS-covered contracts to submit notifications and descriptions of certain cost accounting practice changes, including revisions to their Disclosure Statements, if applicable.
The threshold for CAS applicability is required by 41 U.S.C. 1502(b)(1)(B) to be the same as the threshold for requesting certified cost or pricing data at FAR 15.403-4(a)(1). The burden was calculated with data from the Federal Procurement Data System for Fiscal Year 2016 through 2018 using the increased threshold for requesting certified cost or pricing data of $2 million as proposed by FAR Case 2018-005, Modifications to Cost or Pricing Data Reporting Requirements (84 FR 52428), per section 811 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018.
Respondents: 599.
Total Annual Responses: 1,797.
Total Burden Hours: 314,475.
A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register at 84 FR 37875, on August 2, 2019. No comments were received.
