Type of Request: Revision and extension of a currently approved collection.

Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit institutions.

Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.

Frequency: On occasion.

Number of Respondents: 75.

Responses per Respondent: 2.8, approximately.

Annual Responses: 207.

Average Burden per Response: 1.2 hours, approximately.

Annual Burden Hours: 242.

Needs and Uses: This information collection requirement pertains to information required in DFARS parts 208, 235, and associated contract clauses in part 252 that offerors and contractors must submit to DoD in response to a request for proposals or an invitation for bids or a contract requirement. The solicitation provision and contract clause associated with DFARS part 209 have been removed from this information collection. The information required by the provision is collected via the System for Award Management, for which the burden is approved under OMB Control Number 9000-0189. The information required by the clause is submitted by fewer than 10 respondents per year.

DoD uses the information collected in the clauses associated with DFARS parts 208 and 235 to—

• Determine whether to provide precious metals as Government-furnished material;
• 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.

DoD Clearance Officer: Mr. Tucker Lucas. Requests for copies of the information collection proposal should be sent to Mr. Lucas at [e-mail].
