Summary of Information Collection

    Use of DD Form 2345 permits U.S. and Canada defense contractors to 
certify their eligibility to obtain certain unclassified technical data 
with military and space applications. Non-availability of this 
information prevents defense contractors from accessing certain 
restricted databases and obstructs conference attendance where 
restricted data will be discussed.
