Needs and Uses: This information collection requirement pertains to

to navigation, (c) review contractor requests for payment for
mobilization and determine reasonableness of costs allocated to
mobilization and demobilization, and (d) determine eligibility for the

overseas construction contracts. This request covers the following

construction contracts: (i) DFARS 252.236-7000 requries contractors to
submit a price breakdown with any proposal for a contract modification;

submitting requests for payment for mobilization and preparatory work;
(4) DFARS 252.236-7004 permits contracting officers to require
contractors to furnish cost data justifying the percentage of the cost
split between mobilization and demobilization, if the contracting
officer believes that the proposed percentages do not bear a reasonable
relation to the cost of the work; and, (5) DFARS 252.233-7010 and DFARS
252.236-7012 require offerors to identify their status as a U.S. firm
or, when contract performance will be on Kwajalein Atoll, status as a
