ACTION: Notice and request for comments regarding a proposed revision 
and extension of an approved information collection requirement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, DoD 
announces the proposed extension of a public information collection 
requirement and seeks public comment on the provisions thereof. DoD 
invites comments on: whether the proposed 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 technology. The Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) has approved this information collection 
for use through July 31, 2023. DoD proposes that OMB extend its 
approval for use for three additional years beyond the current 
expiration date.

DATES: DoD will consider all comments received by May 30, 2023.

0704-0286, using any of the following methods:

    Needs and Uses: DFARS 205.470 prescribes the use of the clause at 
DFARS 252.205-7000, Provision of Information to Cooperative Agreement 
Holders, in solicitations and contracts, including solicitations and 
contracts using Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 12 procedures 
for the acquisition of commercial products and commercial services, 
which are expected to exceed $1.5 million. This clause implements 10 
U.S.C. 4957 by requiring contractors to provide cooperative agreement 
holders, upon request, with a list of the contractor's employees or 
offices responsible for entering into subcontracts under DoD contracts. 
The Contractor need not provide the listing to a particular cooperative 
agreement holder more frequently than once a year. Upon receipt of a 
contractor's list, the cooperative agreement holder utilizes the 
information to identify and pursue contracting opportunities with DoD 
and expand the number of businesses capable of participating in 
Government contracts.
