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 for use under Control Number 0704-0225 through August 31, 2026. DoD proposes that OMB approve an extension of the information collection requirement, to expire three years after the approval date.

that may be sensitive and inappropriate for release to the public. The

already in the public domain. In requesting this approval, the
contractor must identify the specific information to be released, the
medium to be used, and the purpose for the release. Upon receipt of a
contractor's request, the Government reviews the information provided
by the contractor to determine if it is sensitive or otherwise
inappropriate for release for the stated purpose.
