FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To

Title and OMB Number: Survey of 

Foreign Acquired Domestic Facilities 

with Defense Capabilities; OMB Control 

Number 0704–TBD. 

Needs and Uses: As part of its 

industrial base oversight 

responsibilities, DoD is planning to 

assess in a preliminary way the impact 

on the U.S. industrial base of the 

increasing foreign ownership of U.S. 

defense-relevant firms. Specifically, 

DoD will evaluate the extent to which 

foreign acquired firms (1) expanded 

domestically vs. off-shored production 

and R&D capabilities; and (2) remained 

reliable suppliers to defense customers. 

This assessment is limited to a sample 

of firms that were DoD suppliers when 

they were foreign-acquired acquired in 

2003 or 2004 and that the Office of the 

Under Secretary of Defense for 

Acquisition, Technology & Logistics 

determined at that time possessed 

defense critical technology under 

development. 

Affected Public: Business or other for 

profit. 

Annual Burden Hours: 430 hours. 

Number of Respondents: 86. 

Responses Per Respondent: 1. 

Average Burden Per Response: 5 

hours. 

Frequency: One-time. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection 

The Deputy Under Secretary of 

Defense (Industrial Policy) has 

responsibility to assess the performance 

of the industrial base relevant to defense 

which includes the traditional defense 

industrial base as well as many dual use 

and commercial firms that supply goods 

and services to the defense sector. 

Because of the value of the U.S. dollar 

until recently relative to the currencies 

of many of its trading partners and the 

profitability of the defense sector over 

the past five years, an increasing 

number of defense-relevant firms have 

been acquired by foreign firms. 

As part of its industrial base oversight 

responsibilities, DoD is planning to 

assess in a preliminary way the impact 

on the U.S. industrial base of the 

increasing foreign ownership of U.S. 

defense-relevant firms. 

DoD will use the information 

collected to assess the extent to which 

the foreign-acquired sample of U.S. 

firms expanded U.S. facilities and/or 

off-shored them and whether they 

remained reliable suppliers to their 

defense agency customers. For the 

sample of firms surveyed, this 

assessment will attempt to address: 

(a) Growth or contraction in the firm 

size (measured in sales, capacity 

utilization, employment and production 

facility size) since being foreign 

acquired and the extent to which 

product lines are still produced in the 

U.S.; 

(b) Growth or contraction in R&D 

since being foreign acquired and the 

extent to which R&D is still performed 

primarily in the U.S.; 

(c) Growth or contraction in number 

of defense contracts and whether any 

such contracts were terminated and 

why; 

(d) Decisions not to participate in any 

defense-related contract competitions 

since being foreign-acquired and why.

several attributes of service that impact 

the level of overall satisfaction. These
