OMB for clearance, the following proposal for collection of information 
under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 
35).

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by August

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title and OMB Number: Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation 
Supplement (DFARS); Radio Frequency Identification Advance Shipment 
Notices; OMB Control Number 0704-0434.
    Type of Request: Extension.

    Annual Responses: 19,732,850.
    Average Burden per Response: Approximately 1.16 seconds.
    Annual Burden Hours: 6,353.
    Needs and Uses: DoD uses advance shipment notices for the shipment 
of material containing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag data. 
DoD receiving personnel use the advance shipment notice to associate 
the unique identification encoded on the RFID tag with the 
corresponding shipment. Use of the RFID technology permits DoD an 
automated and sophisticated end-to-end supply chain that has increased 
visibility of assets and permits delivery of supplies to the warfighter 
more quickly.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for profit 
institutions.
    Frequency: On Occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: The clause at DFARS 252.211-7006, Passive 
Radio Frequency Identification, requires the contractor to ensure that 
the data on each passive RFID tag are unique and conform to the 
requirements that they are readable and affixed to the appropriate 
location on the specific level of packaging in accordance with MIL-STD-
129 tag placement specifications. The contractor shall encode an 
approved RFID tag using the appropriate instructions at the time of 
contract award. Regardless of the selected encoding scheme, the 
contractor is responsible for ensuring that each tag contains a 
globally unique identifier. The contractor shall electronically submit 
advance shipment notices with the RFID tag identification in advance of 
the shipment in accordance with the procedures at https://wawf.eb.mil/.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
    Written comments and recommendations on the proposed information
