    Notice and Request for Comments Regarding a Proposed Extension of 
    an Approved Information Collection Requirement
    
    SUMMARY: In compliance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 
    Reduction Act of 1995, the DoD announces the proposed extension of a 
    public information collection requirement and seeks public comment on 
    the provisions thereof. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the 
    proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
    performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the 
    information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
    agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection; 
    (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
    information to be collected; and (d) 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. This information collection requirement is currently 
    approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for use through 
    December 31, 1996. DoD proposes that OMB extend its approval for use 
    through December 31, 1999.
    
    DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by August 
    12, 1996.

        Needs and Uses: 10 U.S.C. 2536 prohibits award of a DoD contract 
    under a national security program to an entity controlled by a foreign 
    government, if access to a proscribed category of information is 
    necessary for the performance of the contract. This information 
    collection is used by contracting officers to identify offers from 
    companies controlled by a foreign government, to ensure compliance with 
    10 U.S.C. 2536.
        Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
    institutions, and small businesses or organizations.
        Annual Burden Hours: 25.
        Number of Responses: 25.
        Responses Per Respondent: 1.
        Average Burden Per Response: 1 hour.
        Frequency: On occasion.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    Summary of Information Collection
    
        The guidance at DFARS 209.104 (48 CFR 209.104) and the solicitation 
    provision at DFARS 252.209-7002 (48 CFR 252.209-7002) implement the 
    requirements of 10 U.S.C. 2536. The provision at DFARS 252.209-7002 
    requires that offerors under solicitations for contracts involving 
    proscribed information disclose any interest a foreign government has 
    in the offeror, when that interest constitutes control by a foreign 
    government.

    Executive Editor, Defense Acquisition Regulations Council.
