This clearance covers the information
that contractors must submit to comply with the Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR) clause at 52.242-5, Payments to Small Business
Subcontractors. This clause requires the prime contractor to
self-report to the contracting officer when the prime contractor
makes late or reduced payments to small business subcontractors.
The notice shall include the reason(s) for making the reduced or
untimely payment.
The increase of responses from
456 to 473 and the associated increase in estimated burden hours
from 912 to 946 is an adjustment due to use of the most current
data available.
