(2) Data other than certified cost or pricing data, in accordance with subsection 215.403-5 of the FAR, including actual cost data and data to support any estimated costs, even if certified cost or pricing data are not required.

(d) The certification requirement in paragraph (b) of this clause does not apply to—
