(Shipping Rates)

AGENCY: Director of Information Systems for Command, Control, 
Communications, and Computers (DISC4), U.S. Army.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with Section 3506(e)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, the Department of the Army announces a proposed 
public information collection and seeks public comment on the 
provisions thereof. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of 
the burden of the proposed information collection; (c) ways to enhance 
the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; 
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the information collection on 
respondents, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology.
    The movement of military members results in over 600,000 shipments 
of personal property each year. Section 10721 of the Interstate 
Commerce Act exempts such shipments from ICC rate requirements and 
allows competitive bidding by carriers. The large volume of shipping 
contracts has caused the DOD Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC) 
to process contractor information systematically. By following specific 
procedures contractors are solicited, bids evaluated, and contractors 
selected. The legal authority for collection of this information in 37 
USC, Section 406.
    Title, Applicable Forms, and OMB Control Number: Tender of Service 
and Letter of Intent for Personal Property, Household Goods and 
Unaccompanied Baggage Shipments, DD Form 619, OMB Control Number 0702-
0022.
    Needs and Uses: Since household goods (HHG) move at Government 
expense, data is needed to choose the best service at least cost and to 
know when accessorial services are chargeable to the Government. 
Information serves as a bid for contract to transport HHG. Best-
service-for-least-cost carrier receives the contract.
    Affected Public: Business or other for profit.
