DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Defense has submitted to OMB for clearance, 
the following proposal for collection of information under the 
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Title, Associated Form, And OMB Number; Export-Controlled DoD 
Technical Data Agreement; DD Form 2345; OMB Number 0704-0207.
    Type of Request: Extension.
    Number of Respondents: 6,000.
    Responses Per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 6,000.
    Average Burden Per Response: 20 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 2,000.
    Needs and Uses: The Information collection requirement is necessary 
as a basis for certifying individuals or businesses to have access to 
DoD export-controlled militarily critical technical data subject to the 
provisions of 32 CFR 250. Individuals and enterprises who need access 
to unclassified DoD-controlled militarily critical technical data must 
certify on DD Form 2345, Militarily Critical Technical Data Agreement, 
that data will be used only in ways that will inhibit unauthorized 
access and maintain the protection afforded by U.S. export control 
laws.
    The information collected is disclosed only to the extent 
consistent with prudent business practices, current regulations, and 
statutory requirements

and is so indicated on the Privacy Act statement of DD Form 2345. Use 
of DD Form 2345 permits U.S. and Canada defense contractors to certify 
their eligibility to obtain certain unclassified technical data with 
military and space applications. Nonavailability of the form prevents 
defense contractors from accessing certain restricted databases and 
obstructs conference attendance where restricted data will be 
discussed.
    Affected Public: Business or Other For-Profit; Not-For-Profit 
Institutions.
    Frequency: on occasion
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    OMB Desk Officer: Mr. Peter N.Weiss.
    Written comments and recommendations on the proposed information 
collection should be sent to Mr. Weiss 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 
should be sent to Mr. Cushing, WHS/DIOR, 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, 
Suite 1204, Arlington, VA 22202-4302.

    Dated: May 8, 1998.
Patricia L. Toppings,
Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
