SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    Per FAR 47.208, military (and, as required, civilian agency) 
storage and distribution points, depots, and other receiving activities 
require advance notice of shipments en-route from contractors' plants. 
Generally, this notification is required only for classified material; 
sensitive, controlled, and certain other protected material; 
explosives, and some other hazardous materials; selected shipments 
requiring movement control; or minimum carload or truckload shipments. 
It facilitates arrangements for transportation control, labor, space, 
and use of materials handling equipment at destination. Also, timely 
receipt of notices by the consignee transportation office precludes the 
incurring of demurrage and vehicle detention charges. Unless otherwise 
directed by a contracting officer, a contractor shall send the notice 
to the consignee transportation office at least twenty-four hours 
before the arrival of the shipment.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 113.
    Responses per Respondent: 71.
    Annual Responses: 8,023.
    Hours per Response: .167.
    Total Burden Hours: 1,340.
    The public burden hours represent a decrease from the previously 
approved information collection.

C. Public Comments

    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 
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.
    Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the 
information collection documents from the General Services 
Administration, Regulatory Secretariat Division (MVCB), 1800 F Street, 
Washington, DC 20405, telephone 202-501-4755.
    Please cite OMB Control No. 9000-0056, Report of Shipment, in all 
correspondence.
