Armed Forces Selected Reserve

AGENCY: Defense Acquisition Regulations System, Department of Defense 
(DoD).

ACTION: Notice and request for comments regarding a proposed 
reinstatement of a previously approved information collection 
requirement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35), DoD announces the 
intention to request reinstatement of a previously approved information 
collection from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), for which 
approval has expired. DoD seeks public comment on the provisions of the 
information collection requirement. Specifically, DoD invites comments 
on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of DoD, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection; (c) ways 
to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the information 
collection on respondents, including the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology. The Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) previously approved this information 
collection requirement for use through February 29, 2012. DoD proposes 
that OMB reinstate and renew its approval for use for three additional 
years from date of approval.

DATES: DoD will consider all comments received by July 28, 2014.

    This information collection requires an offeror, when a

intends to use such employees or individual subcontractors. This 
documentation may include (1) existing company documentation, such as

Reserve members who are currently employed by the company; or (2) a
