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. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

Respondents: 27,000. 

Responses Per Respondent: 32. 

Annual Responses: 864,000. 

Hours Per Response: .55. 

Total Burden Hours: 475,000. 

OBTAINING COPIES OF 

PROPOSALS: Requesters may obtain a 

copy of the information collection 

documents from the General Services 

Administration, FAR Secretariat (VIR),

e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or 

reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of 

the collection; (4) Description of the

information; (5) Respondents and 

frequency of collection; and (6)

burden. OMB invites public comment. 

The Department of Education is 

especially interested in public comment 

addressing the following issues: (1) Is 

this collection necessary to the proper 

functions of the Department; (2) will 

this information be processed and used 

in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate 

of burden accurate; (4) how might the 

Department enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (5) how might the

technology.
