SUMMARY: The Defense Acquisition Regulations System has submitted to

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by March 4, 
2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number:

for Foreign Military Sales Acquisitions; OMB Control Number 0704-0321.
    Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profit entities and not-
for-profit institutions.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Type of Request: Renewal of a currently approved collection.
    Reporting Frequency: On occasion.
    Number of Respondents: 144.
    Responses Per Respondent: 30.

    Average Burden Per Response: 1.5 hours.
    Annual Response Burden Hours: 6,480 (includes 2,160 response hours 
plus 4,320 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.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
