Description

The Department of Defense (DoD) announces the proposed extension of a public information collection requirement related to subcontracting policies and procedures under the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS). This extension seeks public comment on the necessity, utility, and burden of the information collection, including ways to enhance its quality and minimize respondent burden. The information collected is used by administrative contracting officers to approve or disapprove contractors' purchasing systems, which impacts government consent to subcontracts and potential financial withholds. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved this collection under Control Number 0704-0253 through August 31, 2026, and DoD proposes an extension for three more years.
