    Annual Responses: 416,771.
    Average Burden per Response: Approximately 0.1 hour.
    Annual Burden Hours: 41,677.
    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.
    DoD Clearance Officer: Ms. Angela Duncan. Requests for copies of 
the information collection proposal should be sent to Ms. Duncan at 
[email protected].
