SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    FAR Part 31, Contract Cost Principles and Procedures, contains cost 
principles and procedures for (1) the pricing of contracts, 
subcontracts, and modifications to contracts and subcontracts whenever 
cost analysis is performed; and (2) the determination, negotiation, or 
allowance of costs when required by a contract clause. However, certain 
cost elements that are reviewed pursuant to this part require 
supporting documentation. One of these involves a justification of 
automatic data processing equipment leasing costs under FAR 31.205-2. 
The information is used by the contracting officer to determine the 
allowability of a cost element.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Public reporting burden for this collection of information is 
estimated to average 30 minutes per completion, including the time for 
reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and 
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the 
collection of information.
    The annual reporting burden is estimated as follows: Respondents, 
3,172; responses per respondent, 1; total annual responses, 3,172; 
preparation hours per response, .5; and total response burden hours, 
1,586.

OBTAINING COPIES OF PROPOSALS: Requester may obtain copies of 
justifications from the General Services Administration, FAR 
Secretariat (MVRS), Room 4037, Washington, DC 20405, telephone (202)
