ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments regarding a proposed

collection requirement. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35), DoD announces the 

proposed extension of a public 

information collection requirement and 

seeks public comment on the provisions 

thereof. DoD invites comments on: (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of DoD, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of 

the estimate of the burden of the 

proposed information collection; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the information collection on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) has approved this information 

collection for use through August 31, 

2013. DoD proposes that OMB extend its 

approval for use for three additional 

years beyond the current expiration 

date.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title, Associated Form, and OMB 

Number: Defense Federal Acquisition 

Regulation Supplement (DFARS), Part 

211 and related clause at 252.211; Radio 

Frequency Identification Advance 

Shipment Notices, OMB Control 

Number 0704–0434. 

Needs and Uses: DoD uses advance 

shipment notices for the shipment of 

material containing RFID tag data. DoD 

receiving personnel use the advance 

shipment notice to associate the unique 

identification encoded on the RFID tag 

with the corresponding shipment. Use 

of the RFID technology permits DoD an 

automated and sophisticated end-to-end 

supply chain, which has increased 

visibility of assets and permits delivery 

of supplies to the warfighter more 

quickly. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit and not-for profit institutions. 

Number of Respondents: 25,000. 

Responses per Respondent: 3,981. 

Annual Responses: 101,515,500. 

Average Burden per Response: 

Approximately 1.1 seconds. 

Annual Burden Hours: 31,556. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Summary of Information Collection 

The clause at DFARS 252.211–7006, 

Radio Frequency Identification Advance 

Shipment Notices, requires the 

contractor to ensure that the data on 

each passive RFID tag are unique and 

conforms to the requirements that they 

are readable and affixed to the 

appropriate location on the specific 

level of packaging in accordance with 

MIL–STD–129 tag placement 

specifications. The contractor shall 

encode an approved RFID tag using the 

appropriate instructions at the time of 

contract award. Regardless of the 

selected encoding scheme, the 

contractor is responsible for ensuring 

that each tag contains a globally unique 

identifier. The contractor shall 

electronically submit advance shipment 

notices with the RFID tag identification 

in advance of the shipment in 

accordance with the procedures at 

https://wawf.eb.mil/.
