SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    Federal construction contractors may be required to submit 
schedules, in the form of a progress chart, showing the order in which 
the Contractor proposes to perform the work. In accordance with FAR 
52.236-15, Schedules for Construction Contracts, the Contractor shall, 
within five days after work commences on the contract or another period 
of time determined by the contracting officer, prepare and submit to 
the contracting officer for approval three copies of a practicable 
schedule showing the order in which the Contractor proposes to perform 
the work, and the dates on which the Contractor contemplates starting 
and completing the several salient features of the work (including 
acquiring materials, plants, and equipment). This information is used 
to monitor progress under a Federal construction contract when other 
management approaches for ensuring adequate progress are not used. If 
the Contractor fails to submit a schedule within the time prescribes, 
the Contracting Officer may withhold approval of progress payments 
until the Contractor submits the required schedule.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 3,804.
    Responses per Respondent: 2.
    Annual Responses: 7,608.

    Total Burden Hours: 30,432.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
functions of the FAR, and whether it will have practical utility; 
whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection of 
information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and 
methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and ways in which we can minimize the 
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, 
through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
