This request concerns information
collection requirements related to material inspection and
acceptance, shipping, and payment. The information is used to
process inspection and receipt of materials and payments to
contractors.
It is believed that the burden
per response is actually decreased by the use of the WAWF
electronic system. However, the burden has seen an increase largely
believed to be caused by the wider use of WAWF and improvements
such as pre-population of most receiving report data elements.
These current numbers also represent a more accurate picture of the
use of this system while prior estimates were based on the
expertise of DCMA technical specialists.
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
