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 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.

[[Page 32776]]

    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.

OBTAINING COPIES OF PROPOSALS: Requester may obtain copies of 
justifications from the General Services Administration, FAR 
Secretariat (MVRS), Room 4037, Washington, DC 20405, telephone (202) 
501-2164. Please cite OMB Control No. 9000-0010, Progress Payments, in 
all correspondence.

    Dated: June 18, 1996.

FAR Secretariat.
