    Title: Transportation Acquisition Regulation (TAR).
    OMB Control Number: 2105-0517.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households and business or other 
for-profit organizations.
    Abstract: The requested extension of the approved control number 
covers forms DOT F 4220.4, DOT F 4220.7, DOT F 4220.43, DOT F 4220.44, 
DOT F 4220.45, DOT F 4220.46, and Form DD 882. In addition, the control 
number includes an amended request to obtain data associated with 
acquisitions for training services.
    Need: The Transportation Acquisition Regulation (TAR) 48 CFR 
1213.70, 1237.70, 1252.237-71, and 1252.237-72 requires contracting 
officers to obtain and evaluate, qualification data and other pertinent 
information when it is necessary to determine whether offerors have the 
capability to perform training services under a proposed contract.
    Annual Estimated Burden: 22,062.*

    * The annual estimated burden has been reduced from 57,167 hours 
as a result of the Federal Aviation Administration system being 
exempt from the collection requirements of the TAR.

    Comments are invited on: whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Department, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize 
the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including 
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on April 22, 1997.
