DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

ACTION: Notice.

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

    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 and OMB Number: Tender of Service--Mobile Homes/Boats; OMB 
Number 0704-0056.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement.
    Number of Respondents: 23.
    Responses per Respondent: 5.4 (average).
    Annual Responses: 125.
    Average Burden per Response: 1 hour 15 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 444.
    Needs and Uses: The Carrier Qualification Program (CQP) is designed 
to protect the interest of the Government and to ensure that the 
Department of Defense 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 the capability to provide 
consistent dependable transportation service. 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. The carrier must provide the information 
in order to become a DoD-approved carrier.
    Affected Public: Business or Other For-Profit.
    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: September 29, 1998.
Patricia L. Toppings,
Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
