SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
Federal construction contractors may be required to submit
schedules, in the form of a progress chart, showing the order in which
the Contractor proposes to perform the work. In accordance with FAR
52.236-15, Schedules for Construction Contracts, the Contractor shall,
within five days after work commences on the contract or another period
of time determined by the contracting officer, prepare and submit to
the contracting officer for approval three copies of a practicable
schedule showing the order in which the Contractor proposes to perform
the work, and the dates on which the Contractor contemplates starting
and completing the several salient features of the work (including
acquiring materials, plants, and equipment). This information is used
to monitor progress under a Federal construction contract when other
management approaches for ensuring adequate progress are not used. If
the Contractor fails to submit a schedule within the time prescribes,
the Contracting Officer may withhold approval of progress payments
until the Contractor submits the required schedule.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Respondents: 3,804.
Responses per Respondent: 2.
Annual Responses: 7,608.
Hours per Response: 4.
Total Burden Hours: 30,432.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit
institutions.
Frequency: On occasion.
Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
functions of the 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 collection of information on those who are to respond,
through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

information collection documents from the General Services
