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 
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 0704-0187 through October 31, 
2024. 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 August 26, 2024.

0704-0187, using either of the following methods:

response to a request for proposals or an invitation for bids or a

     Evaluate claims of indemnification for losses or damages 
occurring under a research and development contract; and
     Keep track of radio frequencies on electronic equipment 
under research and development contracts so that the user does not 
override or interfere with the use of that frequency by another user.
