of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Title and OMB Number: Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation 
Supplement (DFARS) Part 239, Acquisition of Information Technology, and 
Associated Clauses at DFARS 252.239-7000 and 252.239-7006; OMB Number

    Type of Request: Extension.
    Number of Respondents: 1,598.
    Responses Per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 1,598.

    Needs and Uses: This requirement provides for the collection of 
information from contractors regarding security requirements for 
computers used to process classified information; tariffs pertaining to 
telecommunications services; and proposals from common carriers to 
perform special construction under contracts for telecommunications 
services. Contracting officers and other DoD personnel use the 
information to ensure that computer systems are adequate to protect 
against unauthorized release of classified information; to participate 
in the establishment of tariffs for telecommunications services; and, 
to establish reasonable prices for special construction by common 
carriers. The clause at DFARS 252.239-7000, Protection Against 
Compromising Emanations, requires that the contractor provide, upon 
request of the contracting officer, documentation supporting the 
accreditation of a computer system to meet the appropriate security 
requirements. The clause at DFARS 252.239-7006, Tariff Information, 
requires that the contractor provide to the contracting officer: (1) 
Upon request, a copy of the contractor's existing tariffs; (2) before 
filing, a copy of any application to a Federal, State, or other 
regulatory agency for new rates, charges, services, or regulations 
relating to any tariff or any of the facilities or services to be 
furnished solely or primarily to the Government, and, upon request, a 
copy of all information, material, and data developed or prepared in 
support of or in connection with such an application; and, (3) a 
notification to the contracting officer of any application submitted by 
anyone other than the contractor that may affect the rate or conditions 
of services under the agreement or contract. DFARS 239.7408 requires 
the contracting officer to obtain a detailed construction proposal from 
a common carrier that submits a proposal or quotation that has special 
construction requirements related to the performance of basic 
telecommunications services.
