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.

9000-0152, Service Contracting.
This justification supports an extension of OMB Control No. 9000-0152. This clearance covers the information that offerors must submit to comply with the following Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirement:
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.
Respondents: 19,738.
Total Annual Responses: 19,738.
Total Burden Hours: 9,869.
A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register at 87 FR 9356, on February 18, 2022. A comment was received; however, it did not change the estimate of the burden.
Comment: The commenter expressed his approval of the details set forth under the Federal Regulations in regard to serving contracts and other collaborative efforts in the aerospace industry.
Response: Noted. The commenter did not express an opinion on whether the estimated number of burden hours is accurate; or ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information.
Obtaining Copies: Requesters may obtain a copy of the information collection documents from the GSA Regulatory Secretariat Division by calling 202-501-4755 or emailing GSARegSec@gsa.gov. Please cite OMB Control No. 9000-0152, Service Contracting.
