SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 
Secretariat has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
a request to review and approve an extension of a currently approved 
information collection requirement concerning report of shipment. A 
request for public comments was published in the Federal Register at 70 
FR 6423, on February 7, 2005. No comments were received.
    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 May 4, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments regarding this burden estimate or any other 
aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for 
reducing this burden to: FAR Desk Officer, OMB, Room 10102, NEOB,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    Military (and, as required, civilian agency) storage and 
distribution points, depots, and other receiving activities require 
advance notice of large shipments en-route from contractors' plants. 
Timely receipt of notices by the consignee transportation office 
precludes the incurring of demurrage and vehicle detention charges. The 
information is used to alert the receiving activity of the arrival of a 
large shipment.
    Respondents:250.
    Responses Per Respondent: 4.
    Annual Responses: 1,000.
    Hours Per Response: .167.
    Total Burden Hours: 167.
    Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the 
information collection documents from the General Services 
Administration, FAR Secretariat (VIR), Room 4035, 1800 F Street, NW, 
Washington, DC 20405, telephone (202) 501-4755. Please cite OMB Control
