Defense Acquisition Regulations System

[Docket Number DARS-2021-0025; OMB Control Number 0704-0321]


Information Collection Requirement; Defense Federal Acquisition 
Regulation Supplement (DFARS); Contract Financing

AGENCY: Defense Acquisition Regulations System, Department of Defense 
(DoD).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Defense Acquisition Regulations System has submitted to 
OMB, for clearance, the following proposed revision and extension of a 
collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act.

DATES: DoD will consider all comments received by March 28, 2022.

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, Progress Payments for Foreign Military Sales Acquisitions, in any 
contract that provides for progress payments and contains foreign 
military sales (FMS) requirements. The clause at 252.232-7002 requires 
each contractor whose contract includes 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.

should be sent to Ms. Susan Minson, DoD Desk Officer, at
