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 8, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments regarding this burden estimate or any other

alert the receiving activity of the arrival of a large shipment.

    Responses Per Respondent: 4.
    Annual Responses:1,000.
    Hours Per Response: .167.
