                Regulation Supplement; Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
                AGENCY: Defense Acquisition Regulation System, Department of Defense
                (DoD).
                ACTION: Notice.
                -----------------------------------------------------------------------
                SUMMARY: The Defense Acquisition Regulations System has submitted to
                OMB for clearance, the following proposal for collection of information
                under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act.
                DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by July 18,
                2019.
                 Title, Associated Forms, and OMB Number: Defense Federal
                Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Part 215; Only One Offer and
                Related Clauses at 252.215; OMB Control Number 0704-0574.
                 Type of Request: New Collection.
                 Number of Respondents: 2,079.
                 Responses per Respondent: Approximately 1.73.
                 Annual Responses: 3,593.
                 Average Burden per Response: Approximately 37.7 hours.
                 Annual Burden Hours: 135,330.
                 Needs and Uses: This notice is for a new information collection for
                DFARS proposed rule 2017-D009, Only One Offer, that DoD published in
                the Federal Register at 83 FR 30656 on June 29, 2018. This information
                collection pertains to information that an offeror/contractor must
                submit to DoD if only one offer was received in response to a
                competitive solicitation, and the contracting officer must now request
                certified cost or pricing data, because of the revised standard for
                adequate price competition that is applicable to DoD, NASA, and the
                Coast Guard. This information collection requirement implements Cost or
                Pricing Data--Truth in negotiations, 10 U.S.C. 2306a, as amended by
                section 822 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal
                Year (FY) 2017 (Pub. L. 114-328). To the extent that 10 U.S.C. 23906a
                is the same as 41 U.S.C. chapter 35, information collection
                requirements are covered under OMB clearance 9000-0013. However,
                section 822 of the NDAA for FY 2017 changes the standard for adequate
                price competition for DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard. This supporting
                statement addresses only the additional burden for DoD, as implemented
                in DFARS provisions 252.215-7008, Only One Offer; and 252.215-7010,
                Requirements for Certified Cost or Pricing Data and Data Other Than
                Certified Cost or Pricing Data. The information obtained through DFARS
                252.215-7008, Only One Offer, and 252.215-7010, Requirements for
                Certified Cost or Pricing Data and Data Other Than Certified Cost or
                Pricing Data, is used to determine whether the offered price is fair
                and reasonable and to meet the statutory requirement for certified cost
                or pricing data.
                 Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for- profit
                institutions.
                 Frequency: On occasion.
                 Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or maintain benefits.
                 OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
                 Written comments and recommendations on the proposed information
                collection should be sent to Ms. Seehra at the Office of Management and
                Budget, Desk Officer for DoD, Room 10236, New Executive Office
