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

Public reporting burden for this

collection of information is estimated to

average .55 hours per completion,

including the time for reviewing

instructions, searching existing data

sources, gathering and maintaining the

data needed, and completing and

reviewing the collection of information.
