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 DoD's 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 requirement under Control Number 0704-0386 through January 31, 2024. 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

Needs and Uses: DoD uses this information to improve administration
under the small business subcontracting program and to evaluate a
contractor's past performance in complying with its subcontracting
plan. The clause at DFARS 252.219-7003, Small Business Subcontracting
Plan (DoD Contracts), is prescribed for use in solicitations and
contracts that include the clause at FAR 52.219-9, Small Business
Subcontracting Plan. Paragraph (e) of the clause requires the
contractor to notify the contracting officer, in writing, of any
substitutions of firms that are not small business firms, for the small
business firms specifically identified in the subcontracting plan. The
notification is necessary when (1) a prime contractor has identified
specific small business concerns in its subcontracting plan, and (2)
after contract award, substitutes one of the small businesses
identified in its subcontracting plan with a firm that is not a small
business. The intent of this information collection is to alert the
contracting officer of this situation.
