Administration (NASA). 

ACTION: Notice of request for public 

comments regarding an extension to an 

existing OMB clearance. 

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Federal 

Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 

Secretariat will be submitting to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) a request to review and approve 

an extension of a currently approved 

information collection requirement 

concerning progress payments. A 

request for public comments was 

published in the Federal Register at 73 

FR 71625, November 25, 2008. No 

comments were received. 

Public comments are particularly 

invited on: Whether this collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of functions of the FAR, 

and whether it will have practical 

utility; whether our estimate of the 

public burden of this collection of 

information is accurate, and based on 

valid assumptions and methodology; 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and ways in which we can 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, through the use of appropriate 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

April 1, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments regarding 

this burden estimate or any other aspect 

of this collection of information, 

including suggestions for reducing this 

burden to: FAR Desk Officer, OMB, 

Room 10102, NEOB, Washington, DC

Services Administration, FAR 

Secretariat (VPR), 1800 F Street, NW.,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT Mr. 

Edward Chambers, Contract Policy 

Division, GSA, (202) 501–3221. 

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.
