DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary


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).
    Title and OMB Number: Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation 
Supplement (DFARS) Part 232, Contract Financing, and the Clause at 
DFARS 252.232-7002, Progress Payments for Foreign Military Sales 
Acquisition; OMB Number 0704-0321.
    Type of Request: Extension.
    Number of Respondents: 430.
    Responses Per Respondent: 12.
    Annual Responses: 5,160.
    Average Burden Per Response: 1.5 hours.
    Annual Burden Hours: 7,740 (2,580 response hours and 5,160 
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.
    Respondents Obligation: Required to Obtain or Retain Benefits.
    OMB Desk Officer: Mr. Lewis W. Oleinick.
    Written comments and recommendations on the proposed information 
collection should be sent to Mr. Oleinick at the Office of Management 
and Budget, Desk Officer for DoD (Acquisition), Room 10236, New 
Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.
    DOD Clearance Officer: Mr. Robert Cushing.
    Written requests for copies of the information collection proposal 
should be sent to Mr. Cushing, WHS/DIOR, 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, 
Suite 1204, Arlington, VA 22202-4302.
