    Needs and Uses: The Department of Defense Scientific and Technical 
Information Program (STIP) requires the exchange of scientific and 
technical information within and among Federal Government agencies and 
their contractors. The data that the Defense Technical Information 
Center (DTIC) handles is controlled, either because of distribution 
limitations or security classification. For this reason, all potential 
users are required to register for service. The registration procedure 
is mandated by DoD Directive 5200.21, Dissemination of DoD Technical 
Information. Federal Government agencies and their contractors are 
required to complete the DoD Form 1540, Registration for Scientific and 
Technical Information Services. The contractor community completes a 
separate DD Form 1540 for each contract or grant and registration is 
valid until the contract expires. All collected information is verified 
by DTIC's Registration Branch.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit; not-for-profit 
institutions; State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    OMB Desk Officer: Mr. Edward C. Springer.
    Written comments and recommendations on the proposed information 
collection should be sent to Mr. Springer at the Office of Management 
and Budget, Desk Officer for DoD, Room 10236, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503.
    DoD Clearance Officer: Mr. Robert Cushing.
    Written requests for copies of the information collection proposal
