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 through 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 under Control Number 0750-0002 through September 30, 2023. DoD proposes that OMB approve an extension of the information collection requirement, to expire three years after the approval 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 through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology. The
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved this information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title and OMB Number: Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation
Supplement (DFARS) Part 204, Covered Defense Telecommunications
Equipment or Services; OMB Control Number 0750-0002.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit
institutions.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Reporting Frequency: On occasion.
Number of Respondents: 3,446.
Annual Responses: 172,320.
Annual Response Burden Hours: 62,085.
Needs and Uses: The collection of information is necessary to
protect against foreign interference with DoD telecommunications, which
could jeopardize our military communications, the lives of our
warfighters, and our national security. The collection of information
is essential to the mission of the agencies to ensure DoD does not
purchase prohibited equipment, systems, and services, and can respond
appropriately if any such purchases are not identified until after
delivery or use.
This requirement supports implementation of section 1656(b) of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018. Section 1656
prohibits DoD from procuring or obtaining, or extending or renewing a
contract to procure or obtain, any equipment, system, or service to
carry out the nuclear deterrence mission and homeland defense mission
that uses covered telecommunications equipment or services as a
substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical
technology as a part of any system.
This requirement is implemented in the Defense Federal Acquisition
Regulation Supplement (DFARS) through the provision at 252.204-7017,
Prohibition on the Acquisition of Covered Defense Telecommunications
Equipment or Services--Representation, and the clause at 252.204-2018,
Prohibition on Acquisition of Covered Defense Telecommunications
Equipment or Services.
This clearance covers the following requirements:
<bullet> DFARS 252.204-7017 requires that if an offeror provides an
affirmative representation under the provision at 252.204-7016, Covered
Defense Telecommunications Equipment or Services--Representation, that
offeror is required to represent whether it will or will not provide
under the contract covered defense telecommunications equipment or
services.
<bullet> DFARS 252.204-7018 requires contractors to report covered
telecommunications equipment, systems, and services identified during
performance of a contract.
