Appendix F contains procedures and
instructions for electronic submission of contractor payment
requests and receiving reports using Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF). 10
U.S.C. 2227 requires electronic submission of claims for DoD
contract payments. Appendix F, Material Inspection and Receiving
Report, contains procedures and instructions for the use,
preparation, and distribution of electronic WAWF Receiving Reports,
which are the electronic equivalent of the DD Form 250, Material
Inspection and Receiving Report , and DD Form 250 series
equivalents.
Reasons for change in burden:
a. Programming changes made to WAWF resulted in computerization of
various DD Form 250 series receiving reports with a commensurate
reduction in burden on the public. As a matter of law (10 U.S.C.
2227), any claim for payment under a DoD contract must be in
electronic form. Accordingly, the separate burden hours associated
with manually submitted (paper) DD 250s, which were included in the
2014 supporting statement, are not included in the current
assessment. b. Increase in the number of respondents, which is due
to: 1. Greater use of WAWF generally, in part because of
implementation of DFARS clause 252.232-7003, Electronic Submission
of Payment Requests and Receiving Reports, which mandates use of
WAWF (77 FR 38731, June 29, 2012). 2. Increased visibility of WAWF
at trade shows, industry conferences, and forums. 3. Collaborative
resolution of technical and other issues through the WAWF/Item
Unique Identification/Radio Frequency Identification Users Industry
Group, which has resulted in greater customer familiarity and
acceptance of WAWF. c. Continued maturity and capability of
Government and contractor system interfaces, coupled with the
normal learning curve associated with process improvements such as
electronic invoicing, has increased the number of customers using
WAWF (by extension, increasing the number of respondents and
responses) and lowered processing costs. d. Data is now available
relative to the actual use of WAWF versus past reliance on
estimates from subject matter experts.
