SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of Information Collection
The DoD Scientific and Technical Information Program (STIP)
requires the exchange of scientific and technical information within
and among Federal Government agencies and their contractors. The DD
Form 1540 serves as a registration tool for Federal Government agencies
and their contractors to access DTIC services. The contractors,
subcontractors, and potential contractors are required to obtain
certification from designated approving officials. Federal Government
agencies need certification from approving officials and security
offices only when requesting access to classified data. All collected
information is verified by DTIC`s Registration Branch.
