UOCAVA requires the States to allow 

Uniformed Services personnel, their 

family members, and overseas citizens 

to use absentee registration procedures 

and to vote by absentee ballot in 

general, special, primary, and runoff 

elections for Federal offices. The Act 

covers members of the Uniformed 

Services and the merchant marine to 

include the commissioned corps of the 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration and Public Health 

Service, and their eligible dependents. 

Federal civilian employees overseas, 

and overseas U.S. citizens not affiliated

Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) 

conducts the post-election survey on a 

statistically random basis to determine 

participation rates that are 

representative of all citizens covered by 

the Act, measure State-Federal 

cooperation, and evaluate the 

effectiveness of the overall absentee 

voting program. The information 

collected is used for overall program 

evaluation, management and 

improvement, and to compile the

President and Congress.

2320, Rights in technical data, and 10 

U.S.C. 2321, Validation of proprietary 

data restrictions. DoD uses the

Summary of Information Collection 

DoD uses the following DFARS 

provisions and clauses in solicitations 

and contracts to require offerors and 

contractors to identify and mark data or 

software requiring protection from 

unauthorized release or disclosure in 

accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2320: 

252.227–7013, Rights in Technical 

Data—Noncommercial Items. 

252.227–7014, Rights in 

Noncommercial Computer Software and 

Noncommercial Computer Software 

Documentation. 

252.227–7017, Identification and 

Assertion of Use, Release, or Disclosure 

Restrictions. 

252.227–7018, Rights in 

Noncommercial Technical Data and 

Computer Software—Small Business 

Innovation Research (SBIR) Program. 

In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 

2320(a)(2)(D), DoD may disclose limited 

rights data to persons outside the 

Government, or allow those persons to 

use limited rights data, if the recipient 

agrees not to further release, disclose, or 

use the data. Therefore, the clause at 

DFARS 252.227–7013, Rights in 

Technical Data—Noncommercial Items, 

requires the contractor to identify and 

mark data or software that it provides 

with limited rights. 

In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2321(b), 

contractors and subcontractors at any 

tier must be prepared to furnish written 

justification for any asserted restriction 

on the Government’s rights to use or 

release data. The following DFARS 

clauses require contractors and 

subcontractors to maintain adequate 

records and procedures to justify any 

asserted restrictions: 

252.227–7019, Validation of Asserted 

Restrictions—Computer Software. 

252.227–7037, Validation of 

Restrictive Markings on Technical Data. 

In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2320, 

DoD must protect the rights of 

contractors that have developed items, 

components, or processes at private 

expense. Therefore, the clause at DFARS 

252.227–7025, Limitations on the Use or 

Disclosure of Government-Furnished 

Information Marked with Restrictive 

Legends, requires a contractor or 

subcontractor to submit a use and nondisclosure agreement when it obtains 

data from the Government to which the 

Government has only limited rights. 

The provision at DFARS 252.227– 

7028, Technical Data or Computer 

Software Previously Delivered to the 

Government, requires an offeror to 

identify any technical data or computer 

software that it previously delivered, or 

will deliver, under any Government 

contract. DoD needs this information to 

avoid paying for rights in technical data 

or computer software that the 

Government already owns.
