DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

ACTION: Notice.

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

[[Page 29976]]

    The Department of Defense has submitted to OMB for clearance, the 
following proposal for collection of information under the provision of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: Department of Defense 
Application for Priority Rating for Production or Construction 
Equipment; DD Form 691; OMB Number 0704-0055.
    Type of Request: Extension.
    Number of Respondents: 610.
    Responses Per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 610.
    Average Burden per Response: 1 hour.
    Annual Burden Hours: 610.
    Needs and Uses: Executive Order 12919 delegated to DoD authority to 
require certain contracts and orders relating to approved Defense 
Programs to be accepted and performed on a preferential basis. This 
program helps contractors acquire industrial equipment in a timely 
manner, thereby facilitating development and support of weapons systems 
and other important Defense Programs. This information is used so the 
authority to use a priority rating can be granted. This is done to 
assure timely availability of production or construction equipment to 
meet current Defense requirements in peacetime and in case of national 
emergency. Without this information DoD would not be able to assess a 
contractor's stated requirement to obtain equipment needed for 
fulfillment of contractual obligations.
    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 27, 1998.

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
