SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    Fixed-price contracts with prospective price redetermination 
provide for firm fixed prices for an initial period of the contract 
with prospective redetermination at stated times during performance. 
Fixed price contracts with retroactive price redetermination provide 
for a fixed ceiling price and retroactive price redetermination within 
the ceiling after completion of the contract. In order for the amounts 
of price adjustments to be determined, the firms performing under these 
contracts must provide information to the Government regarding their 
expenditures and anticipated costs. The information is used to 
establish fair price adjustments to Federal contracts.

    Public reporting burden for this collection of information is 
estimated to average 1 hour per completion, including the time for 
reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and 
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the 
collection of information.
    The annual reporting burden is estimated as follows: Respondents, 
3,500; responses per respondent, 2; total annual responses, 7,000; 
preparation hours per response, 1; and total response burden hours, 
7,000.
