SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
Certain Federal contracts provide for progress payments to be made
to the contractor during performance of the contract. The requirement
for certification and supporting information are necessary for the
administration of statutory and regulatory limitation on the amount of
progress payments under a contract. The submission of supporting cost
schedules is an optional procedure that, when the contractor elects to
have a group of individual orders treated as a single contract for
progress payments purposes, is necessary for the administration of
statutory and regulatory requirements concerning progress payments.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is
estimated to average .55 hours per response, 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,
27,000; responses per respondent, 32; total annual responses, 864,000;
preparation hours per response, .55; and total response burden hours,
475,200.
Dated: March 26, 1996.

FAR Secretariat.
