Abstract:
For FAR 52.216-7, 52.216-15, and 52.242-4, the contracting officer and auditor use the proposal and supporting data 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. The contracting officer uses the notification received under FAR 52.242-13 to ensure the contractor’s ability to perform its Government contract.

Short Statement:
The information collection burden hour requirement for FAR clause 52.242-13 has decreased due to the reduction in business bankruptcies between the years 2015 and 2017. The reductions in the estimated hours for the submission and certification of indirect final cost rate proposals reflect current estimates from subject matter experts. The estimate of 6,564,681 hours had remained unchanged since 2006 and included hours for FAR 52.216-13, which was subsequently removed from the FAR by final rule 2004-025. In the intervening years, since this estimate was established, contractor accounting systems and software have matured enabling more efficient collection of cost information and facilitating preparation of the final indirect cost rate proposal.
