ACTION: Notice and request for comments regarding a proposed revision

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
DoD's 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 under Control Number 0704-0398 through July 31, 2023. DoD
proposes that OMB approve an extension of the information collection
requirement, to expire three years after the approval date.
DATES: DoD will consider all comments received by May 30, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title and OMB Number: Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation
[[Page 19101]]
Supplement (DFARS), Part 211, Describing Agency Needs, and Related
Clause at 252.211; OMB Control Number 0704-0398.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for profit
institutions.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Frequency: On occasion.
Number of Respondents: 3,503.
Responses per Respondent: 119.
Annual Responses: 416,771.
Average Burden per Response: 0.1 hour, approximately.
Annual Burden Hours: 41,667.
Needs and Uses: DFARS 211.274-6 prescribes the use of the clause at
DFARS 252.211-7007, which requires contractors to report data to the
DoD Item Unique Identification (IUID) Registry on all serially-managed
Government-furnished property (GFP), as well as contractor receipt of
non-serially managed items, unless an exception applies. ``Serially
managed item'' means an item designated by DoD to be uniquely tracked,
controlled, or managed in maintenance, repair, and/or supply systems by
means of its serial number. The clause provides a list of specific data
elements contractors are to report to the IUID registry in the GFP
module, as well as procedures for updating the registry. DoD needs this
information to strengthen the accountability and end-to-end
traceability of GFP within DoD. Through electronic notification of
physical receipt, DoD is made aware that GFP has arrived at the
contractor's facility. The DoD logistics community uses the information
as a data source of available DoD equipment. In addition, the DoD
organization responsible for contract administration uses the data to
test the adequacy of the contractor's property management system.
