Reduction Act of 1995, DoD announces the proposed revision of a public

collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of DoD, including whether the information will have 
practical utility; the accuracy of the estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize 
the burden of the information collection on respondents, including the 
use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information

current expiration date.

252.204-7000, Disclosure of Information, in contracts that require the 
contractor to access or generate unclassified information that may be 
sensitive and inappropriate for release to the public. The clause 
requires the contractor to obtain approval of the contracting officer 
before release of any unclassified contract-related information outside 
the contractor's organization, unless the information is already in the 
public domain. In requesting this approval, the contractor must 
identify the specific information to be released, the medium to be 
used, and the purpose for the release. Upon receipt of a contractor's 
request, the Government reviews the information provided by the 
contractor to determine if it is sensitive or otherwise inappropriate 
for release for the stated purpose.
