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.

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by April 
26, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title and OMB Number: DFARS Part 232, Contract Financing, and 
Related Clauses at DFARS 252.232; OMB Control Number 0704-0359.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Number of Respondents: 1,800.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 1,800.
    Average Burden per Response: 1 hour.
    Annual Burden Hours: 1,800.
    Needs and Uses: This requirement provides for the collection of 
information related to contract financing under DoD contracts.
    a. DFARS 252.232-7007, Limitation of Government's Obligation. The 
Government will use this information to decide whether to allot 
additional funds for continued performance under the contract or to 
terminate the contract for convenience. If after such notification 
additional funds are not allotted by the date identified in the 
contractor's notification, or by an agreed substitute date, the 
contracting officer will terminate any items for which additional funds 
have not been allotted, pursuant to the clause of this contract 
entitled ``Termination for Convenience of the Government.''
    b. DFARS subpart 232.10, Performance-Based Payments. If a 
contractor desires to structure contract financing using performance-
based payments, the contractor shall submit a proposed performance-
based payments schedule which includes all performance-based payments 
events, completion criteria and event values along with the expected 
expenditure profile. The contracting officer will use this information 
to populate the Performance Based Payments analysis tool and negotiate 
the performance-based payment event schedule. This analysis tool is a 
cash-flow model used for evaluating alternative financing arrangements 
and to calculate improved financing opportunities that will provide 
benefit to both industry (prime and subcontractor level) and the 
taxpayer.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for profit 
institutions.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
