The Office of Management and Budget

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Saleemah McMillan, at 202-308-5383. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *Title and OMB Number:* Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Part 232, Contract Financing, and the Clause at 252.232-7002 Progress Payments for Foreign Military Sales Acquisition; OMB Control Number 0704-0321. *Affected Public:* Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit institutions. *Respondent's Obligation:* Required to obtain or retain benefits. *Frequency:* On occasion. *Number of Respondents:* 107. *Responses per Respondent:* 19.2. *Annual Responses:* 2,056. *Average Burden per Response:* 1.5 hours. *Annual Burden Hours:* 3,084. *Needs and Uses:* Section 22 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2762) requires the U.S. Government to use foreign funds, rather than U.S. appropriated funds, to purchase military equipment for foreign governments. To comply with this requirement, the Government needs to know how much of each progress payment to charge each country. DFARS 232.502-4-70(a) prescribes use of the contract clause at DFARS 252.232-7002, Progress Payments for Foreign Military Sales Acquisitions, in any contract that provides for progress payments and contains FMS requirements. The clause at 252.232-7002 requires each contractor whose contract includes foreign military sales
(FMS)requirements to submit a separate progress payment request for each progress payment rate and to submit a supporting schedule that clearly distinguishes the contract's FMS requirements from U.S. requirements. The Government uses this information to determine how much of each country's funds to disburse to the contractor. Jennifer D. Johnson, Editor/Publisher, Defense Acquisition Regulations System.
