The contracting officer must include
the clause at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.232-16,
Progress Payments, in solicitations that may result in contracts
providing for progress payments based on costs; and fixed-price
contracts under which the Government will provide progress payments
based on costs. This information collection requirement pertains to
the certification (Standard Form 1443, Contractor’s Request for
Progress Payment) and supporting information submitted by the
contractor. This information collection requirement is necessary
for the administration of statutory and regulatory limitation on
the amount of progress payments under a contract.
The decrease of responses from
805,152 to 632,160 is an adjustment due to the decrease in the
number of Federal contracts. This results in a commensurate
reduction in the annual burden hours of 72,657, (from 338,164 to
265,507 hours) and is proportional to the lower number of Federal
contracts overall.
