7007, Limitation of Government’s 

Obligation; OMB Control Number 0704– 

0359. 

Needs and Uses: This information 

collection requires contractors that are 

awarded incrementally funded, fixedprice DoD contracts to notify the 

Government when the work under the 

contract will, within 90 days, reach the 

point at which the amount payable by 

the Government (including any 

termination costs) approximates 85 

percent of the funds currently allotted to 

the contract. This information will be 

used to determine what course of action 

the Government will take (e.g., allot 

additional funds for continued 

performance, terminate the contract, or 

terminate certain contract line items). 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit and non-profit institutions. 

Annual Burden Hours: 800. 

Number of Respondents: 800. 

Responses per Respondent: 1.

Average Burden per Response: 1 hour.

Summary of Information Collection 

This information collection includes 

requirements related to contract 

financing and payment in DFARS part 

232, Contract Financing, and the related 

clause at DFARS 252.232–7007, 

Limitation of Government’s Obligation. 

DFARS subpart 232.7, Contract 

Funding, limits the use of incrementally 

funded fixed-price contracts to 

situations where (1) the contract is for 

severable services, does not exceed one 

year in length, and is incrementally 

funded using funds available as of the 

date the funds are obligated; or (2) the 

contract uses funds available from two 

or more fiscal years and is funded with 

research and development 

appropriations, or Congress has 

otherwise authorized incremental 

funding. The clause at DFARS 252.232– 

7007 identifies procedures for 

incrementally funding the contract and 

requires the contractor to provide the 

Government with written notice when 

the work will reach the point at which 

the amount payable by the Government, 

including any termination costs, 

approximates 85 percent of the funds 

currently allotted to the contract.

the Council on Environmental Quality

regulations (32 CFR Part 775), and 

United States Marine Corps (USMC) 

NEPA directives (Marine Corps Order 

P5090.2A, changes 1 and 2), the DoN 

intends to prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) and conduct 

public scoping meetings for the 

proposed basing and operation of MV– 

22 tiltrotor (MV–22) Osprey aircraft and 

H–1 Cobra and Huey attack helicopters 

in support of III Marine Expeditionary 

Force (MEF) training and readiness 

operations in Hawaii. The EIS will 

evaluate a proposal to introduce up to 

two Marine Medium Tiltrotor (VMM) 

squadrons with a total of 24 MV–22 

aircraft and one Marine Light Attack 

Helicopter (HMLA) squadron composed 

of 18 AH–1Z and 9 UH–1Y helicopters.

that the Army be a cooperating agency 

for the preparation of this EIS.
