SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
functions of the FAR, and whether it will have practical utility; 
whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection of 
information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and 
methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and ways in which we can minimize the 
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, 
through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.

DATES: Submit comments on or before April 12, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments regarding this burden estimate or any other 
aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for

A. Purpose

    Military and, as required, civilian agency storage and distribution 
points, depots, and other receiving activities require advance notice 
of large shipments enroute from contractors' plants. Timely receipt of

of demurrage and vehicle detention charges. The information is used to 
alert the receiving activity of the arrival of a large shipment.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 250.
    Responses Per Respondent: 4.
    Annual Responses: 1,000.
    Hours Per Response: .167.
    Total Burden Hours: 167.

from the General Services Administration, FAR Secretariat (MVP), Room 
4035, 1800 F Street, NW., Washington, DC 20405, telephone (202) 501-
