contract financing and require special determinations by the agency
head or designee. Specific financial information about the contractor
is required before such payments can be authorized (see FAR 32.4 and
52.232-12). The information is used to determine if advance payments
should be provided to the contractor.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is
estimated to average 1 hour per completion, including the time for
reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the
collection of information.
The annual reporting burden is estimated as follows: Respondents,
500; responses per respondent, 1; total annual responses, 500;
preparation hours per response, 1; and total response burden hours,
500.
