SUMMARY: The Defense Acquisition Regulations System has submitted to 
OMB for clearance, the following proposed revision of a collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act.

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by October 
25, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: 
Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS); Radio 
Frequency Identification Advance Shipment Notices; OMB Control Number 
0704-0434.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Frequency: On Occasion.
    Type of Request: Revision.
    Number of Respondents: 5,217.
    Responses per Respondent: 3,782.
    Annual Responses: 19,732,850.
    Average Burden per Response: Approximately 1.16 seconds.
    Annual Burden Hours: 6,358.
    Needs and Uses: 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/. 
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.
    Comments and recommendations on the proposed information collection 
should be sent to Ms. Jasmeet Seehra, DoD Desk Officer, at 
[email protected]. Please identify the proposed information 
collection by DoD
