Summary of Information Collection 

The clause at DFARS 252.239–7000, 

Protection Against Compromising 

Emanations, requires that the contractor 

provide, upon request of the contracting 

officer, documentation that information 

technology used or provided under the 

contract meets appropriate information 

assurance requirements. 

The clause at DFARS 252.239–7006, 

Tariff Information, requires that the 

contractor provide to the contracting 

officer: (1) Upon request, a copy of the 

contractor’s existing tariffs (including 

changes); (2) before filing, a copy of any 

application to a Federal, State, or other 

regulatory agency for new rates, charges, 

services, or regulations relating to any 

tariff or any of the facilities or services 

to be furnished solely or primarily to the 

Government, and, upon request, a copy 

of all information, material, and data 

developed or prepared in support of or 

in connection with such an application; 

and (3) a notification to the contracting 

officer of any application submitted by 

anyone other than the contractor that 

may affect the rate or conditions of 

services under the agreement or 

contract. 

DFARS 239.7408 requires the
