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

approval for use for three additional years beyond the current
expiration date.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title and OMB Number: Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation
Supplement (DFARS) Part 246, Quality Assurance, and related clauses at
252.246; OMB Control Number 0704-0441.
Needs and Uses: The information collections under OMB Control
Number 0704-0441 pertain to all information that offerors or
contractors must submit related to DFARS contract quality assurance
programs.
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: 34,842.
Annual Responses: 122,024.
Annual Burden Hours: 2,075,685 (includes 39,075 reporting hours and
2,036,610 recordkeeping hours).
a. 252.246-7003, Notification of Potential Safety Issues.
Contracting officers require timely notification of potential safety
defects so that (1) systems and equipment likely affected by the
situation can be readily identified, and (2) appropriate engineering
investigation and follow-on actions can be taken to establish and
mitigate risk.
b. 252.246-7005, Notice of Warranty Tracking of Serialized Items.
The information provided by offerors under this solicitation provision
alerts contracting officers in those cases where the offeror is
proposing to provide a warranty for an individual contract line item
for which DoD has not specified a warranty in the solicitation. The
warranty notice will permit the Government to recognize and utilize any
warranty after contract award.
c. 252.246-7006, Warranty Tracking of Serialized Items. The
information provided by contractors allows DoD to track warranties for
item unique identification (IUID) required items in the IUID registry
to obtain maximum utility of warranties provided on contracted items.
The identification and enforcement of warranties is essential to the
effectiveness and efficiency of DoD's material readiness. Providing
visibility and accountability of warranty data associated with acquired
goods, from the identification of the requirement to the expiration
date of the warranted item, significantly enhances DoD's ability to
take full advantage of warranties, resulting in--
(1) Reduced costs;
(2) Ability to recognize benefits included at no additional cost;
(3) Ability to compare performance against Government-specified
warranties; and
(4) Identification of sufficient durations for warranties for
specific goods.
d. 252.246-7008, Sources of Electronic Parts. The contracting
officer uses the information to ensure that the contractor performs the
traceability of parts, additional inspection, testing, and
authentication required when an electronic part is not obtained from a
trusted supplier. The Government may also use this information to more
actively perform acceptance.
