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.

    Respondents: 3,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 3,000.

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.
