SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    Firms performing under Federal contracts must provide adequate 
documentation to support requests for payment under these contracts. 
The documentation may range from a simple invoice to detailed cost 
data. The information is usually submitted once, at the end of the 
contract period or upon delivery of the supplies or services, but could 
be submitted more often depending on the payment schedule established 
under the contract (see FAR 52.232-1 through 52.232-4, and FAR 52.232-6 
through 52.232-11). The information is used to determine the proper 
amounts to be paid to Federal contractors.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 80,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 120.
    Total Responses: 9,600,000.
    Hours per Response: .25.

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
functions of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (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

information technology.
