SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Industry Partnership 
Survey, OMB Control Number 0702-0122.
    Needs And Uses: The information collected from this survey will be 
used to systematically survey and measure industry contractors to 
better understand how they feel about SDDC's acquisition processes and 
to improve the way business is conducted. The SDDC provides global

sustainment on time. Respondents will be commercial firms who have 
contracts awarded by SDDC for several program areas.
    Affected Public: Business or Other for-Profit.
    Annual Burden Hours: 632.
    Number of Respondents: 1,264.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 1,264.
    Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
    Frequency: Annually.
    SDDC works with industry partners in several program areas, Global 
Domestic Distribution Program, Freight Global Distribution Program, 
Personal Property Traffic Management Program, Transportation 
Engineering Agency, Army Ammunition & Explosives and several more. Most 
industry partners only provide services in one or two of the program 
areas, so the survey design provides for transparently skipping 
respondents only to the sections that are relevant to them. To make 
performance improvement in the operations of these programs areas, SDDC 
plans to undertake voluntary surveys of our ``partners'' in industry 
for 3 years from the approval/renewal date.
