SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

Standard Form (SF) 1034, Public 

Voucher for Purchases and Services 

Other than Personal, is used by the 

agencies for regular payments to 

vendors under cost-reimbursement 

contracts, and for terminations. 

Cost type contracts provide for 

interim payment for costs vouchered on 

SF 1034. This is applicable to all costreimbursement type contracts, including 

cost-reimbursement portions of fixed 

price contracts, letter contracts which 

provide for reimbursement of costs, time 

and materials contracts and labor-hour 

contracts. Vouchers may be submitted at 

the beginning of each billing period for 

costs incurred during the preceding 

billing period. Vouchers should not be 

submitted more than once a month 

unless such arrangements are made with 

the Contracting Officer. 

Termination clauses for costreimbursement contracts (see FAR 

49.503(a)) provide for the settlement of 

costs and fee, if any, in cases of 

termination by convenience. The 

contract clauses governing costs shall 

determine what costs are allowable. 

When the contract has been completely 

terminated, the contractor shall not use 

SF 1034 after the last day of the sixth 

month following the month in which 

the termination is effective. The 

contractor may elect to stop using 

vouchers at any time during the 6- 

month period. When the contractor has 

vouchered out all costs within the 6- 

month period, a proposal for fee, if any, 

may be submitted on the SF 1437, 

Settlement Proposal for CostReimbursement Type Contracts, (see 

FAR 49.602–1) or by letter appropriately 

certified. The contractor must submit a 

substantiated proposal for fee to the 

Termination Contracting Officer (TCO) 

within 1 year from the effective date of 

termination, unless the period is 

extended by the TCO. When the use of 

vouchers is discontinued, the contractor 

shall submit all unvouchered costs and 

the proposed fee, if any, as specified in 

FAR 49.303. When the contract is 

partially terminated, FAR 49.304 shall 

apply. 

In consultation with subject matter 

experts at the Department of Defense, 

the number of responses per year was 

verified as being within an acceptable 

range, as was the average time required 

to read and prepare information which 

was estimated at 1 hour per response. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

Respondents: 75,636. 

Responses per Respondent: 12. 

Total Responses: 907,632. 

Hours per Response: 1. 

Total Burden Hours: 907,632. 

C. Public Comments 

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.
