Abstract
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 the 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 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 through September 30, 2022. DoD proposes that OMB extend its approval for use for three additional years beyond the current expiration date.

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
the 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 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 through September 30, 2022. DoD proposes that OMB extend its
approval for use for three additional years beyond the current
expiration date.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: Defense Federal Acquisition
Regulation Supplement (DFARS); Radio Frequency Identification Advance
Shipment Notices; OMB Control Number 0704-0434.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for profit
institutions.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Frequency: On Occasion.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Number of Respondents: 5,217.
Responses per Respondent: 3,782.
Annual Responses: 19,732,850.
Average Burden per Response: Approximately 1.16 seconds.
Annual Burden Hours: 6,358.
Needs and Uses: DoD uses advance shipment notices for the shipment
of material containing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag data.
DoD receiving personnel use the advance shipment notice to associate
the unique identification encoded on the RFID tag with the
corresponding shipment. Use of the RFID technology permits DoD an
automated and sophisticated end-to-end supply chain that has increased
visibility of assets and permits delivery of supplies to the warfighter
more quickly.
The clause at DFARS 252.211-7006, Passive Radio Frequency
Identification, requires the contractor to ensure that the data on each
passive RFID tag are unique and conform to the requirements that they
are readable and affixed to the appropriate location on the specific
level of packaging in accordance with MIL-STD-129 tag placement
specifications. The contractor encodes an approved RFID tag using the
appropriate instructions at the time of contract award. Regardless of
the selected encoding scheme, the contractor is responsible for
ensuring that each tag contains a globally unique identifier. The
contractor electronically submits advance shipment notices with the
RFID tag identification in advance of
