SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
The policies implemented at FAR 37.115, Uncompensated Overtime, are
based on Section 834 of Public Law 101-510 (10 U.S.C. 2331). The
policies require insertion of FAR provision 52.237-10, Identification
of Uncompensated Overtime, in all solicitations valued above the
simplified acquisition threshold, for professional or technical
services to be acquired on the basis of the number of hours to be
provided. The provision requires that offerors identify uncompensated
overtime hours, in excess of 40 hours per week, and the uncompensated
overtime rate for direct charge Fair Labor Standards Act--exempt
personnel. This permits Government contracting officers to ascertain
cost realism of proposed labor rates for professional employees and
discourages the use of uncompensated overtime.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Number of Respondents: 19,906.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 19,906.
Average Burden Hours per Response: .5.
Total Burden Hours: 9,953.
Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the
information collection documents from the General Services
Administration, Regulatory Secretariat (MVCB), 1275 First Street NE.,
Washington, DC 20417, telephone (202) 501-4755. Please cite OMB Control
No. 9000-0152, Service Contracting, in all correspondence.
Dated: October 5, 2012.
