832.202–4, Security for Government 

Financing. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0688. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: This request for an 

extension is for VAAR 832.202–4, 

Security for Government Financing. 

FAR subpart 32.2 authorizes the use of 

certain types of Government financing 

on commercial item purchases. 41 

U.S.C. 255(f) requires the Government to 

obtain adequate security for 

Government financing. However, FAR 

32.202–4(a)(2) provides that, subject to 

agency regulations, the contracting 

officer may determine that an offeror’s 

financial condition is adequate security. 

VAAR 832.202–4, Security for 

Government Financing, specifies the 

type of information that the contracting 

officer may obtain to determine whether 

or not the offeror’s financial condition 

constitutes adequate security. 

The information that is gathered 

under VAAR 832.202–4 will be used by 

the VA contracting officer to assess 

whether or not the contractor’s overall 

financial condition represents adequate 

security to warrant paying the 

contractor in advance. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit and not-for-profit institutions. 

Estimated Annual Burden: VAAR 

832.202–4—10 Burden Hours. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Respondent: VAAR 832.202–4—1 Hour. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

VAAR 832.202–4—10. 

By direction of the Secretary. 

Cynthia Harvey-Pryor, 

Department Clearance Officer, Office of 

Quality, Privacy and Risk, Department of 

Veterans Affairs.
