SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Department of Defense 
Standard Tender of Freight Services; SDDC Form 364-R; OMB Control 
Number 0704-0261.
    Needs and Uses: The information derived from the DoD tenders on 
file with the Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command 
(SDDC) is used by SDDC subordinate commands and DoD shippers to select 
the best value carriers to transport surface freight shipments. Freight 
carriers furnish information in a uniform format so that the Government 
can determine the cost of transportation, accessorial, and security 
services, and select the best value carriers for 1.1 million Bill of 
Lading shipments annually. The DoD tender is the source document for 
the General Services Administration post-shipment audit of carrier 
freight bills.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
    Annual Burden Hours: 27,351.
    Number of Respondents: 82,053.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 82,053.
    Average Burden per Response: 20 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    The DoD tender format was developed to take advantage of improved 
information collection technology and to connect with ongoing 
initiatives to implement automated systems to file tenders, select 
carriers, quote rates, and audits. The disciplined data fields of the 
tenders will facilitate the Electronic Data Interchange of tender data 
between carriers and SDDC, also between SDDC

subordinate commands and DoD shippers. This initiative ultimately will 
permit electronic filing of the tender and eliminate mailing paper 
documents, which are manually processed.
