                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
                A. Purpose
                 Advance payments may be authorized under Federal contracts and
                subcontracts. Advance payments are the least preferred method of
                contract financing and require special determinations by the agency
                head or designee. Specific financial information about the contractor
                is required before such payments can be authorized (see FAR 32.4 and
                52.232-12). The information is used to determine if advance payments
                should be provided to the contractor.
                B. Annual Reporting Burden
                 Respondents: 73.
                 Responses per Respondent: 12.
                 Annual Responses: 876.
                 Hours per Response: 1.42.
                 Total Burden Hours: 1,244.
                C. Public Comments
                 Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this
                collection of information is necessary 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; and ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
                of the information to be collected.
