of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by

    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 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.
