AGENCY: Defense Acquisition Regulations System; Department of Defense

ACTION: Notice and request for comments regarding a proposed 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 
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 through 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 0704-0225 through July 31, 
2023. DoD proposes that OMB approve an extension of the information 
collection requirement, to expire three years after the approval date.

    Needs and Uses: DFARS 204.404-70(a) prescribes use of DFARS clause 
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.
