Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
ACTION:
Notice.
The Department of Defense has submitted to OMB for clearance, the following proposal for collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
DATES:
Consideration will be given to all comments received by August 21, 2006.
Title, Form and OMB Number: Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Part 232, Contract Financing, and the clauses at DFARS 252.232-7002 Progress Payments for Foreign Military Sales Acquisition; OMB Control Number 0704-0321.
Type of Request: Extension.
Number of Respondents: 263.
Responses per Respondent: 12.
Annual Responses: 3156.
Average Burden per Response: .5 hours (response)/12 hours (recordkeeping).
Annual Burden Hours: 4,734 hours (includes 1,578 response hours plus 3,156 recordkeeping hours).
Needs and Uses: Section 22 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2762) requires the U.S. Government to use foreign funds, rather than U.S. appropriated funds, to purchase military equipment for foreign governments. To comply with this requirement, the Government needs to know how much to charge each country. The clause at 252.232-7002, Progress Payments for Foreign Military Sales Acquisitions, requires each contractor whose contract includes foreign military sales (FMS) requirements to submit a separate progress payment request for each progress payment rate, and to submit a supporting schedule that clearly distinguishes the contract's FMS requirements from U.S. requirements. The Government uses this information to determine how much of each country's funds to disburse to the contractor.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit; not-for-profit institutions.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Hillary Jaffe.
