SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Solicitation of Public Comment

    Written comments and suggestions from the public should address one 
or more of the following four points:
    (1) Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submission of responses.

B. 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 prescribed, the Contracting Officer may 
withhold approval of progress payments until the Contractor submits the 
required schedule.

    Respondents: 23.
    Responses Per Respondent: 2.
