This is a request for establishment of
a new information collection requirement. DoD is amending the
Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to
provide detailed guidance and instructions on the use of the
Performance Based Payments (PBP) Analysis Tool. If a contractor
desires to structure contract financing using performance-based
payments, the contractor shall submit a proposed performance-based
payments schedule which includes all performance-based payments
events, completion criteria and event values along with the
expected expenditure profile. This information will be entered into
the PBP analysis tool to calculate improved financing
opportunities.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
