SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    Section 5 of the International Air Transportation Fair Competitive 
Practices Act of 1974 (49 U.S.C. 1517) (Fly America Act) requires that 
all Federal agencies and Government contractors and subcontractors at 
FAR 47.402, use U.S.-flag air carriers for U.S. Government-financed 
international air transportation of personnel (and their personal 
effects) or property, to the extent that service by those carriers is 
available. It requires the Comptroller General of the United States, in 
the absence of satisfactory proof of the necessity for foreign-flag air 
transportation, to disallow expenditures from funds, appropriated or 
otherwise established for the account of the United States, for 
international air transportation secured aboard a foreign-flag air 
carrier if a U.S.-flag air carrier is available to provide such 
services. In the event that the contractor selects a carrier other than 
a U.S.-flag air carrier for international air transportation during 
performance of the contract, the contractor shall include per FAR 
clause 52.247-64 a statement on vouchers involving such transportation. 
The contracting officer uses the information furnished in the statement 
to determine whether adequate justification exists for the contractor's 
use of other than a U.S.-flag air carrier.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 150.
    Responses per Respondent: 2.
    Annual Responses: 300.
    Hours per Response: .25.
    Total Burden Hours: 75.

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.
