FAR Council opens PRA comments on FAR overhaul parts
The useful work is burden math: pricing the reporting, documentation, and attestation hours before OMB numbers set expectations.
TL;DR
The Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council opened Paperwork Reduction Act comments for FAR Case 2026-001, covering Revolutionary FAR Overhaul Parts 1, 2, 4, 33, 39, 40, and 53. Primes, contractors, and MSPs should map the affected information collections and submit comments on necessity, practical utility, burden estimates, clarity, and ways to reduce respondent burden through automation or other information technology.
The notice is procedural, but it is the part of procedure that turns into bid labor. OFPP, DoD, GSA, and NASA opened comments on Paperwork Reduction Act changes tied to FAR Case 2026-001, the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul package for Parts 1, 2, 4, 33, 39, 40, and 53. Contractors should use the window to price the reporting, documentation, recordkeeping, and attestation work the proposed rule would require, then file comments on the collection’s necessity, practical utility, burden estimate, clarity, and burden-reduction options, including automated collection techniques or other information technology. The supplied notice does not state which specific collections expand or consolidate, or the comment-period close date.
