    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary; whether it will have practical 
utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection

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 
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.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    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, Regulatory Secretariat (VPR), 1800 F Street, NW., Room 
4041, Washington, DC 20405, telephone (202) 501-4755. Please cite OMB 
Control No. 9000-0056, Report of Shipment, in all correspondence.

    Dated: July 16, 2009.

Director, Office of Acquisition Policy.
