Sec. 1516.301-70  Payment of fee.


    The policy of EPA for cost-reimbursement, term form contracts is to 
make provisional payment of fee (i.e. the fixed fee on cost-plus-fixed-
fee type contracts or the base fee on cost-plus-award-fee type 
contracts) on a percentage of work completed basis, when such a method 
will not prove detrimental to proper contract performance. Percentage of 
work completed is the ratio of the direct labor hours performed in 
relation to the direct labor hours set forth in the contract in clause 
1552.212-70, ``Level of Effort--Cost Reimbursement Term Contract.'' 
Provisional payment of fee will remain subject to
