Abstract
In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 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 DoD's 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 through 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 under Control Number 0704-0321 through April 30, 2025. DoD proposes that OMB approve an extension of the information collection requirement, to expire three years after the approval date.

252.232-7002 Progress Payments for Foreign Military Sales Acquisition;
OMB Control Number 0704-0321.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit

Annual Responses: 2,056.

[[Page 104112]]
Annual Burden Hours: 3,084.
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 contract clause at DFARS
252.232-7002, Progress Payments for Foreign Military Sales
Acquisitions, in any contract that provides for progress payments and
contains FMS requirements. The clause at 252.232-7002 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.
