SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Number 0704-0187.
    Type of Request: Revision and extension.

    Needs and Uses: This information collection requirement pertains to

the offeror to prevent access to proscribed information;
    <bullet> Determine whether there is a compelling reason for a 
contractor to enter into a subcontract in excess of $35,000 with a 
firm, or subsidiary of a firm, that is identified in the System for 
Award Management Exclusions as ineligible for award of Defense 
subcontracts because it is owned or controlled by the government of a 
country that is a state sponsor of terrorism;
    <bullet> Evaluate claims of indemnification for losses or damages 
occurring under a research and development contract; and
    <bullet> Keep track of radio frequencies on electronic equipment 
under research and development contracts so that the user does not 
override or interfere with the use of that frequency by another user.
