Purpose It is the Government's policy to try to resolve all contractual issues by mutual agreement at the contracting officer's level without litigation. Reasonable efforts should be made to resolve controversies prior to submission of a contractor's claim. The Contract Disputes Act of 1978 (41 U.S.C. 7103) requires that claims exceeding $100,000 must be accompanied by a certification that
(1)the claim is made in good faith;
(2)supporting data are accurate and complete; and
(3)the amount requested accurately reflects the contract adjustment for which the contractor believes the Government is liable. The information, as required by FAR clause 52.233-1, Disputes, is used by a contracting officer to decide or resolve the claim. Contractors may appeal the contracting officer's decision by submitting written appeals to the appropriate officials. B. Annual Reporting Burden *Respondents:* 4,500. *Responses per Respondent:* 3. *Annual Responses:* 13,500. *Hours per Response:* 1. *Total Burden Hours:* 13,500. C. Public Comments A 60-day notice published in the **Federal Register** at 83 FR 22687, on May 16, 2018. No comments were received.
