DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Public Information Collection Requirement Submitted to the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review

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).
    Title; Applicable Form; and OMB Control Number: DoD FAR Supplement, 
part 232, ``Contract Financing,'' and the Clause at 252.232-7002; OMB 
Control Number 0704-0321.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement.
    Number of Respondents: 150.
    Responses Per Respondent: 24.
    Annual Responses: 3,600.
    Average Burden Per Response: 5 hours.
    Annual Burden Hours (Including Recordkeeping): 5,400.
    Needs and Uses: Public Law 90-629, ``The Arms Export Control Act,'' 
requires purchases of equipment for foreign governments under the 
Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program be made with foreign funds and 
without charge to appropriated funds. The U.S. Government needs to 
know, therefore, how much to charge each country as progress payments 
are made for its FMS purchases. This information can only be provided 
by the contractor preparing the progress payment request. DoD FAR 
Supplement, part 232 requires contractors whose contracts include FMS 
requirements to submit a separate progress payment request. This 
separate request must contain a supporting schedule for each progress 
payment rate, clearly distinguishing the contracts' FMS requirements 
from U.S. contract requirements. This information is used to obtain 
funds from the appropriate foreign country's trust funds for payment to 
the contractor.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit; Non-profit 
institution; Small Business or organizations.
    Frequency: Monthly.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    OMB Desk Officer: Mr. Peter N. Weiss.
    Written comments and recommendations on the proposed information 
collection should be sent to Mr. Weiss at the Office of Management and 
Budget, Desk Officer for DoD, room 3235, New Executive Office Building, 
Washington, DC 20503.
    DOD Clearance Officer: Mr. William P. Pearce.
    Written requests for copies of the information collection proposal 
should be sent to Mr. Pearce, WHS/DIOR, 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, 
suite 1204, Arlington, VA 22202-4302.

    Dated: March 22, 1994.
Patricia L. Toppings,
Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
