SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

Certain Federal contracts provide for 

progress payments to be made to the 

contractor during performance of the 

contract. The requirement for 

certification and supporting information 

are necessary for the administration of 

statutory and regulatory limitation on 

the amount of progress payments under 

a contract. The submission of 

supporting cost schedules is an optional 

procedure that, when the contractor 

elects to have a group of individual 

orders treated as a single contract for 

progress payments purposes, is 

necessary for the administration of 

statutory and regulatory requirements 

concerning progress payments.

Respondents: 27,000. 

Responses Per Respondent: 32. 

Annual Responses: 864,000. 

Hours Per Response: .55.
