SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
Under Federal contracts requiring that equipment (e.g., pumps,
fans, generators, chillers, etc.) be installed in a project, the
Government must determine that the equipment meets the contract
requirements. Therefore, the contractor must submit sufficient data on
the particular equipment to allow the Government to analyze the item.
The Government uses the submitted data to determine whether or not
the equipment meets the contract requirements in the categories of
performance, construction, and durability. This data is placed in the
contract file and used during the inspection of the equipment when it
arrives on the project and when it is made operable.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
The information collection requirement at FAR clause 52.236-5 has
increased due to the rounding up of the responses annually from 1.5 to
2.0, as you cannot have .5 of a response per year.
Respondents: 3,160.
Responses Per Respondent: 2.0.
Annual Responses: 6,320.
Hours Per Response: .25.
Total Burden Hours: 1,580.
C. Public Comments
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 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.
Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the
information collection documents from the General Services
Administration, Regulatory Secretariat Division (MVCB), 1800 F Street
NW., Washington, DC 20405, telephone 202-501-4755. Please cite OMB
Control No. 9000-0062, Material and Workmanship, in all correspondence.
Dated: June 8, 2015.
