FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on this

    Title and OMB Number: The Contractor Manpower Reporting Study; OMB 
Control Number 0702-0120.
    Needs and Uses: Section 345 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2002 (Pub. L. 107-194) requires that the Secretary 
of the Army submit to Congress a report describing the use, during the 
previous fiscal year, of non-Federal entities providing services to the 
Department of the Army. The program will greatly enhance the ability of 
the Army to identify and track its contractor workforce.
    Modern systems do not have contractor manpower data that is 
collected by the Contractor Manpower Reporting System, i.e., estimated 
direct labor hours, estimated direct labor dollars, and organization 
supported.
    Affected Public: Business or other for profit.
    Annual Burden Hours: 344.
    Number of Respondents: 4,149.
    Responses Per Respondent: 1.
    Average Burden Per Response: 5 minutes.
    Frequency: Annually.

supplementary information: Existing financial and procurement systems 
have obligation amounts of an unknown mix, and the Department of Army 
is not able to trace the funding of the organization supported. The 
study will use a streamlined, user-friendly and secure Web site to 
obtain contractor workforce information.
