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.

**Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request** 

**ACTION :**  Notice.

The Department of Defense has submitted to OMB for clearance, the following proposal for collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

**DATES :**  Consideration will be given to all comments received by March 12, 2010.

Title and OMB Number: Customer Satisfaction Surveys—Generic Clearance; OMB Control Number 0704–

Type of Request: Extension. Number of Respondents: 12,150. Responses Per Respondent: 1. Annual Responses: 12,150. Average Burden Per Response: .4 minutes.

Annual Burden Hours: 810 hours. Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary to assess the level of service the DTIC provides to its current customers. The surveys will provide information on the level of overall customer satisfaction as well as on customer satisfaction with several attributes of service that impact the level of overall satisfaction. These customer satisfaction surveys are required to implement Executive Order 12862, ‘‘Setting Customer Service Standards.’’ Respondents are DTIC registered users who are components of the DoD, military services, other Federal Government Agencies, U.S. Government contractors, and universities involved in federally funded research. The information obtained by these surveys will be used to assist agency senior management in determining agency business policies and processes that should be selected for examination, modification, and reengineering from the customer’s perspective. These surveys will also provide statistical and demographic basis for the design of follow-on surveys. Future surveys will be used to assist monitoring of changes in the level of customer satisfaction over time.

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; not-for-profit institutions.

Frequency: On occasion. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.

Written comments and recommendations on the proposed information collection should be sent to Ms. Seehra at the Office of Management and Budget, Desk Officer for DoD, Room 10236, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.
