Abstract
In compliance with section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35), DoD announces the proposed extension of a public information collection requirement and seeks public comment on the provisions thereof. DoD invites comments on: whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of DoD, including whether the information will have practical utility; the accuracy of the estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize the burden of the information collection on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved this information collection for use through March 31, 2022. DoD proposes that OMB extend its approval for use for three additional years beyond the current expiration date.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title 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.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit
institutions.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Number of Respondents: 149.
Responses per Respondent: Approximately 20.
Annual Responses: 2,928.
Average Burden per Response: 1.5 hours.
Annual Burden Hours: 4,392.
Frequency: On occasion.
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 of each progress payment to charge each country.
DFARS 232.502-4-70(a) prescribes use of the clause at DFARS 252.232-
7002 in any contract that provides for progress payments and contains
foreign military sales requirements. 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.
