[Docket Number DARS-2015-0058]


Information Collection Requirement; Defense Federal Acquisition 
Regulation Supplement (DFARS); Contract Financing

AGENCY: Defense Acquisition Regulations System, Department of Defense 
(DoD).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Defense Acquisition Regulations System 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 January 
19, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: Defense Federal Acquisition 
Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Part 232, Contract Financing, and the 
Clause at 252.232-7002, Progress Payments for Foreign Military Sales 
Acquisitions; OMB Control Number 0704-0321.
    Type of Request: Extension.
    Number of Respondents: 124.
    Responses per Respondent: Approximately 26.6.
    Annual Responses: 3,300.
    Average Burden per Response: 1.5 hours.
    Annual Burden Hours: 4,950 (includes 1,650 response hours plus 
3,300 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: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Frequency: On occasion.
