-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department of Defense has submitted to OMB for clearance, the 
following proposal for collection of information under the provisions 
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Title, Forms, and OMB Number: Defense Federal Acquisition 
Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Supplement Part 204, Administrative 
Matters, and related Clauses at 252.204; DD Forms 2051 and 2051-1; OMB 
Number 0704-0225.

    Number of Respondents: 22,602.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 22,602.
    Average Burden per Response: 36 minutes (0.61 hours).
    Annual Burden Hours: 13,758.
    Needs and Uses: The Department of Defense uses this information to 
control unclassified contract data that is sensitive and inappropriate 
for release to the public; and to facilitate data exchange among 
automated systems for contract award, contract administration, and 
contract payments by assigning a unique code to each DoD contractor. 
DFARS 204.404-70(a) prescribes use of the clause at DFARS 252.204-7000, 
Disclosure of Information, in contracts that require the contractor to 
access or generate unclassified information that may be sensitive and 
inappropriate for release to the public. The clause requires the 
contractor to obtain approval of the contracting officer before release 
of any unclassified contract-related information outside the 
contractor's organization, unless the information is already in the 
public domain. DFARS 204.603(1) prescribes use of the provision at 
DFARS 252.204-7001, Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code 
Reporting, in solicitations when CAGE codes for potential offerors are 
not available to the contracting officer. The provision requires an 
offeror to enter its CAGE code on its offer. If an offeror does not 
have a CAGE code, the offeror may request one from the contracting 
officer.
    Affected Public: Business or Other For-Profit; Not-For-Profit 
Institutions.
    Frequency: On Occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to Obtain or Retain Benefits.
    OMB Desk Officer: Mr. David M. Pritzker.

collection should be sent to Mr. Pritzker at the Office of Management 
and Budget, Desk Officer for DoD, Room 10236, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503.
    DoD Clearance Officer: Mr. Robert Cushing.
