SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title and OMB Number: Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation 
Supplement (DFARS) Part 239, Acquisition of Information Technology, and 
associated clause at DFARS 252.239-7000; OMB Control Number 0704-0341.
    Type of Request: Revision and extension of a currently approved 
collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Number of Respondents: 1,880.
    Responses per Respondent: Approximately 8.6.
    Annual Responses: 16,172.
    Average Burden per Response: Approximately 0.5 hour.
    Annual Burden Hours: 8,086.
    Needs and Uses: This requirement provides for the collection of 
information from contractors regarding security of information 
technology. Contracting officers and other DoD personnel use the 
information to ensure that information technology is protected. 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 requirement at DFARS 239.7408, which requires the contracting 
officer to obtain a detailed special construction proposal from a 
common carrier that submits a proposal or quotation that has special 
construction requirements related to the performance of basic 
telecommunications services, is being removed from this collection. 
Approximately three offerors are required to submit a special 
construction proposal each year, which does not require OMB approval 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act because it does not meet the 
threshold of ten or more members of the public being affected within 
any 12-month period.
    DoD Clearance Officer: Mr. Tucker Lucas. Requests for copies of the 
information collection proposal should be sent to Mr. Lucas at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#7d0a150e53101e501c11180553180e1953101f05531919501912195014131b120f101c09141213501e121111181e091412130e3d101c141153101411"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="c4b3acb7eaa9a7e9a5a8a1bceaa1b7a0eaa9a6bceaa0a0e9a0aba0e9adaaa2abb6a9a5b0adabaae9a7aba8a8a1a7b0adabaab784a9a5ada8eaa9ada8">[email protected]</span></a>.
