ACTION: Notice of request for an extension to an existing OMB clearance (9000-0105). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501), the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Secretariat has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request to review and approve an extension of a currently approved information collection requirement concerning Certification of Commercial Pricing. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Beverly Fayson, Office of Federal Acquisition Policy, GSA (202) 501-4755. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Purpose This clearance covers the extension of reporting requirements as required by 41 U.S.C. 253e on Certification of Commercial Pricing. The clauses at FAR 52.215-32 and 52.215-35 require that offerors/ contractors certify to the best of their knowledge and belief that prices offered for certain spare or repair parts that the contractor offers for sale to the public are no higher than the lowest commercial sales price at which such parts were sold during the most recent regular monthly, quarterly, or other period for which sales data are reasonably available, provided that in no event shall this period be less than 30 days in duration. All items for which prices offered are higher than the lowest commercial sales price discussed above must be identified and a written justification for the differences supplied. The commercial pricing information is used by contracting officers to ensure that the Government does not pay prices for commercial spare and repair parts that exceed the lowest commercial sales prices at which such items are sold by the contractor to the general public unless the price differences are justified. Without the information, the Government may pay prices for such supplies that are higher than prices paid by other customers. B. Annual Reporting Burden Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 120 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to General Services Administration, FAR Secretariat, 18th & F Streets, NW., room 4037, Washington, DC 20405, and to the FAR Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503.
