    Annual Responses: 8,000.
    Average Burden per Response: 20 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 2,666.67.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
for certifying enterprises or individuals to have access to DoD export-
controlled militarily critical technical data subject to the provisions 
of 32 CFR 250. The Joint Certification Program (JCP) is the only DoD 
Agency by which North American contractors can apply and obtain access 
to unclassified DoD militarily critical technical data with a military 
or space application. The JCP Office fields, validates, and certifies 
U.S./Canadian supplier applications using the DD Form 2345 (Militarily 
Technical Data Agreement).
    Suppliers submit applications via the DD Form 2345 to (a) access or 
share unclassified DoD export-controlled technical data to bid on a DoD 
solicitation or execute a DoD contract, (b) attend conferences where 
unclassified DoD export-controlled data is discussed or shared, or (c) 
conduct scientific research and development on behalf of DoD where 
unclassified DoD export-controlled data is discussed or shared. The 
certification process validates suppliers to minimize risk and protect 
U.S. intellectual property from adversarial individuals and entities, 
foreign or domestic.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; businesses or other 
for-profit; not-for-profit institutions.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
