Department of the Army Reports

clearance officer at (703) 614–0454.

Title: Tender of service—Mobile

Homes/Boats, OMB Number 0704–0056.

Needs and Uses: Since mobile homes/

boats move at Government expense.

Data is needed to choose the best service

at least cost. The information provided

serves as a bid for contract to transport

mobile homes/boats, and the carrier

must provide the information in order to

become a DOD-approved carrier. Carrier

with best service for lease cost receives

the contract.

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.

Annual Burden Hours: 444.

Number of Respondents: 23.

Responses Per Respondent: 125.

Average Burden Per Response: 1 hour

15 minutes.

Frequency: On occasion.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Carrier Qualification Program (CQP) is

designed to protect the interest of the

Government and to ensure that the

Department of Defense (DOD) deals with

responsible carriers having the

capability to provide quality and

dependable service. This program

became necessary because deregulation

of the motor carrier industry brought an

influx of new carriers into DOD’s

transportation market, many of which

are unreliable or do not have capability

to provide consistent dependable

transportation services.
