A. Purpose
The contractor's proposal of final indirect cost rates is necessary
for the establishment of rates used to reimburse the contractor for the
costs of performing under the contract. The supporting cost data are
the cost accounting information normally prepared by organizations
under sound management and accounting practices.
The proposal and supporting data is used by the contracting
official and auditor to verify and analyze the indirect costs and to
determine the final indirect cost rates or to prepare the Government
negotiating position if negotiation of the rates is required under the
contract terms.
Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
functions of the FAR, and whether it will have practical utility;
whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection of
information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and
methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be
[[Page 25444]]
collected; and ways in which we can minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, through the use
of appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
The estimated annual reporting burden remains unchanged from the
previously approved estimated annual burden.
Respondents: 3,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 3,000.
