The Department of Defense (DoD), General Services Administration (GSA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are seeking public comments on continuing the information collection related to specific Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 32 requirements. They are interested in understanding whether the collection of this data is necessary and how it can be improved or streamlined. These requirements involve various financial and contract management aspects, including advance payments, proper invoicing, and electronic funds transfers, among others. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the existing collection until July 31, 2025, and the agencies are proposing to extend this approval for another three years.
