    Title: Tender of service--Mobile Homes/Boats, OMB Number 0704-0056.
    Needs and Uses: Since mobile homes/boats move at Government 
expense. Data is needed to choose the best service at least cost. The 
information provided serves as a bid for contract to transport mobile 
homes/boats, and the carrier must provide the information in order to 
become a DOD-approved carrier. Carrier with best service for lease cost 
receives the contract.

    Average Burden Per Response: 1 hour 15 minutes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Carrier Qualification Program (CQP) is 
designed to protect the interest of the Government and to ensure that 
the Department of Defense (DOD) deals with responsible carriers having 
the capability to provide quality and dependable service. This program 
became necessary because deregulation of the motor carrier industry 
brought an influx of new carriers into DOD's transportation market, 
many of which are unreliable or do not have capability to provide 
consistent dependable transportation services.
