This is a request for establishment of a new information collection requirement. DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to provide detailed guidance and instructions on the use of the Performance Based Payments (PBP) Analysis Tool.

This information will be entered into the PBP analysis tool to calculate improved financing opportunities.
