Abstract: This clearance covers the information that offerors and contractors must submit to comply with the following FAR requirements: ● FAR 52.227-2, Notice and Assistance Regarding Patent and Copyright Infringement. This clause requires contractors to notify the Government of any allegations of patent or copyright infringement arising during the performance of the contract. ● FAR 52.227-6, Royalty Information. This provision requires offerors to report all royalties anticipated or paid in excess of $250 for the use of patented inventions. ● FAR 52.227-9, Refund of Royalties. This clause requires contractors to furnish to the contracting officer, before final payment under a contract, a statement of royalties paid or required to be paid in connection with performing the contract. ● FAR 52.227-11, Patent Rights - Ownership by the Contractor, or 52.227-13, Patent Rights - Ownership by the Government - Commerce Patent Regulations. These FAR clauses require a Government contractor to report all inventions made in the performance of work under a Government contract or subcontract for experimental, developmental, or research work to the contracting officer, submit a disclosure of the invention, and identify any publication, sale, or public use of the invention (52.227–11(c), 52.227–13(e)(1)). ● FAR 52.227-14, Rights in Data–General. This clause enables the contractor to protect qualifying limited rights data and restricted computer software by withholding the data from the Government and instead delivering form, fit, and function data. ● FAR 52.227-15, Representation of Limited Rights Data and Restricted Computer Software. This provision requires an offeror to represent that it has reviewed the requirements for the delivery of technical data or computer software and state, in response to a solicitation, whether data proposed for fulfilling the data delivery requirements qualifies as limited rights data or restricted computer software. ● FAR 52.227-16, Additional Data Requirements. This clause requires contractors to keep, for possible delivery to the Government, any data, in addition to data already required to be delivered under the contract, first produced or specifically used in performance of the contract for a period of three years from the final acceptance of all items delivered under the contract. ● FAR 52.227-17, Rights in Data-Special Works. This clause is included in solicitations and contracts primarily for production or compilation of data. ● FAR 52.227-18, Rights in Data-Existing Works. This clause is used when the Government is acquiring existing audiovisual or similar works, such as books, without modification. ● FAR 52.227-19, Commercial Computer Software License. This clause requires contractors to affix a notice on any commercial software delivered under the contract that provides notice that the Government’s rights regarding the data are set forth in the contract. ● FAR 52.227-20, Rights in Data–SBIR Program. This clause authorizes contractors under Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contracts to affix a notice to SBIR data delivered under the contract to limit the Government’s rights to disclose data first produced under the contract. ● FAR 52.227-21, Technical Data Declaration, Revision, and Withholding of Payment–Major Systems. This clause requires major systems contractors to certify that the data delivered under the contract is complete, accurate, and compliant with the requirements of the contract. ● FAR 52.227-23, Rights to Proposal Data (Technical). This clause allows the Government to identify pages of a proposal that would not be subject to unlimited rights in the technical data.

Short Statement: This justification supports clearance of an extension of the collection and consolidating it with OMB control numbers 9000-0090 and 9000-0096. There are no program changes. The FAR requirements remain the same. The Department of Defense, General Services Administration, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration are combining OMB Control Nos. by FAR part. This consolidation is expected to improve industry’s ability to easily and efficiently identify burdens associated with a given FAR part. This review of the information collections by FAR part allows improved oversight to ensure there is no redundant or unaccounted for burden placed on industry. Lastly, combining information collections in a given FAR part is also expected to reduce the administrative burden associated with processing multiple information collections. This justification supports the extension of OMB Control No. 9000-0095 and combines it with the previously approved information collections under OMB Control Nos. 9000-0090 and 0096, with the new title “Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 27 Requirements”. Upon approval of this consolidated information collection, OMB Control Nos. 9000-0090 and 9000-0096 will be discontinued. The burden requirements previously approved under the discontinued numbers will be covered under OMB Control No. 9000-0095. This extension includes adjustments to the burden due to use of the latest FPDS data available and the calendar year 2022 OPM GS wage rates for the rest of the United States as explained in item 15.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $1,913,625
