Correction
In the proposed rule FR Doc. 2011-9515, beginning on page 22070 in
the
[[Page 24444]]
issue of April 20, 2011, make the following correction, in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION, I. Background section. On page 22071 in the
second column, add after the first full paragraph the following:
``Specifically, the proposed FAR section 4.1603 establishes service
contractor reporting requirements based on type of contract and dollar
amount as stated below:
Contract types (e.g., cost-reimbursement, time-and-
materials, and labor-hour contracts) that already require contractors
to track labor hours closely in order to invoice the Government will
have lower dollar thresholds than fixed-price contracts, where this
information has not been required historically. Contractors will be
required to report on all cost-reimbursement, time-and-materials, and
labor-hour contracts at or above the simplified acquisition threshold
(SAT).
Contractors will be required to report on new fixed-price
contracts at or above the President's Fiscal Year 2011 Budget's
proposed phase-in thresholds--
[cir] $5 million in Fiscal Year 2011;
[cir] $2.5 million in Fiscal Year 2012;
[cir] $1 million in Fiscal Year 2013; and
[cir] $500,000 from Fiscal Year 2014 onwards.
For indefinite-delivery contracts, including but not
limited to, indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts,
Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contracts, Governmentwide Acquisition
contracts (GWACs), and multi-agency contracts, reporting requirements
will be determined based on the expected dollar amount and type of the
orders issued under the contracts.
Existing indefinite-delivery contracts will be bilaterally
modified within six months of the effective date of the final rule if
sufficient time and value remain on the base contract, which is defined
as--
1. A performance period that extends beyond October 1, 2011; and
2. $5 million or more remaining to be obligated to the indefinite-
delivery contract.
The threshold for existing indefinite-delivery contracts is
consistent with the threshold for new fixed-price contracts.''
Dated: April 27, 2011.

Acting Director, Office of Governmentwide Acquisition Policy.
