SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title and OMB Number: Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation 
Supplement (DFARS) Part 204, Contractor Implementation of Cybersecurity 
Requirements; OMB Control Number 0750-0008.
    Type of Request: New submission.
    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: 1,493.
    Responses per Respondent: Approximately 20.75.
    Annual Responses: 30,990.
    Average Burden per Response: Approximately 0.08 hour.
    Annual Burden Hours: 2,582.
    Needs and Uses: This information collection implements contractual 
reporting requirements related to the DoD policy for the Cybersecurity 
Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) (see 32 CFR part 170) and partially 
implements section 1648 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2020.
    The contract clause at DFARS 252.204-7021 requires the affirming 
official of the contractor to complete an affirmation in the Supplier 
Performance Risk System (SPRS) to validate the CMMC level of each of 
the contractor information systems that will process, store, or 
transmit Federal contract information (FCI) or controlled unclassified 
information (CUI) and that are used in the performance of the contract. 
In addition, the clause requires the contractor to share with DoD any 
updates to the CMMC unique identifiers for information systems that 
process, store, or transmit FCI or CUI and that are used in the 
performance of the contract.
    The solicitation provision at DFARS 252.204-7025 requires offerors 
to post the results of a CMMC Level 1 or Level 2 self-assessment to 
SPRS prior to contract award. The provision also requires offerors to 
identify the contractor information systems that will be used to 
process, store, or transmit FCI or CUI during performance of a contract 
resulting from the solicitation.
    DoD uses the information submitted in response to the solicitation 
provision at DFARS 252.204-7025 to verify that an offeror's CMMC level 
meets the requirement for CMMC in the solicitation and to document the 
affirming official statement related to the CMMC status for all 
contractor information systems to be used in performance of a contract 
resulting from the solicitation. DoD uses the information submitted in 
response to the contract clause at DFARS 252.204-7021 to determine, 
prior to exercise of an option or extension of a period of performance, 
whether a contractor has the required CMMC status for all contractor 
information systems relevant to the contract.
    DoD Clearance Officer: Mr. Tucker Lucas. Requests for copies of the 
information collection proposal should be sent to Mr. Lucas at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#4f38273c61222c622e232a37612a3c2b61222d37612b2b622b202b62262129203d222e3b262021622c2023232a2c3b2620213c0f222e262361222623"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="a0d7c8d38ecdc38dc1ccc5d88ec5d3c48ecdc2d88ec4c48dc4cfc48dc9cec6cfd2cdc1d4c9cfce8dc3cfccccc5c3d4c9cfced3e0cdc1c9cc8ecdc9cc">[email&#160;protected]</span></a>.
