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.

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved this information collection for use under Control Number 0704-0359 through August 31, 2026. DoD proposes that OMB approve an extension of the information collection requirement, to expire three years after the approval date.

Needs and Uses:
DFARS 252.232-7007, Limitation of Government's Obligation. The data
submitted by contractors enables contracting officers to calculate
improved financing opportunities that will provide benefit to both
industry (prime contractor and subcontractor level) and the taxpayer.
DFARS 252.232-7007 is prescribed for use in solicitations and resultant
incrementally-funded fixed-price contracts. Paragraph (c) of the clause
requires a written notification from the contractor that: (1) states
the estimated date when the total amount payable by the Government,
including any cost for termination for convenience, will approximate 85
percent of the total amount then allotted to the contract for
performance of the applicable items; (2) states an estimate of
additional funding, if any, needed to continue performance of
applicable line items up to the next scheduled date for allotment of
funds, or to a mutually agreed upon substitute date; and (3) advises
the contracting officer of the estimated amount of additional funds
that will be required for the timely performance of the items funded
pursuant to the clause, for a subsequent period as may be specified in
the allotment schedule, or otherwise agreed to by the parties to the
contract.
DFARS subpart 232.10, Performance-Based Payments, 252.232-7012,
Performance Based Payments--Whole Contract Basis. Contracting officers
use the information provided by contractors to create a cash-flow model
for use in evaluating alternative financing arrangements. The analysis
tool
[[Page 32017]]
calculates improved financing opportunities that will provide benefit
to both industry (prime contractor and subcontractor level) and the
taxpayer. DFARS subpart 232.10 requires the contracting officer, when
considering performance-based payments, to obtain from the contractor a
proposed performance-based payments schedule which includes all
performance-based payments events, completion criteria and event values
along with the expected expenditure profile.
DFARS 252.232-7012 requires contractors to report the negotiated
value of all previously completed performance-based payments;
negotiated value of current performance-based payment(s) event(s);
cumulative negotiated value of performance-based payment(s) events
completed to date; total costs incurred to date; cumulative amount of
payments previously requested; and the payment amount requested for the
current performance-based payment.
DFARS 252.232-7013, Performance Based Payments--Deliverable-Item
Basis. DFARS 252.232-7013 requires contractors to report the negotiated
value of current performance-based payment(s) event(s); cumulative
negotiated value of performance-based payment(s) events completed to
date; total costs incurred to date; cumulative amount of payments
previously requested; and the payment amount requested for the current
performance-based payment.
