Information Collection Requirement; 

Defense Federal Acquisition 

Regulation Supplement (DFARS); 

Radio Frequency Identification 

Advance Shipment Notices 

AGENCY: Defense Acquisition 

Regulations System, Department of 

Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments regarding a proposed 

extension of an approved information 

collection requirement. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, DoD 

announces the proposed extension of a 

public information collection 

requirement and seeks public comment 

on the provisions thereof. DoD invites 

comments on: 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; 

the accuracy of the estimate of the 

burden of the proposed information 

collection; ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 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 September 30, 

2022. DoD proposes that OMB extend its 

approval for use for three additional 

years beyond the current expiration 

date. 

DATES: DoD will consider all comments 

received by August 22, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by OMB Control Number 

0704–0434, using any of the following 

methods: 

Federal eRulemaking Portal: https://

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title, Associated Form, and OMB 

Number: Defense Federal Acquisition 

Regulation Supplement (DFARS); Radio 

Frequency Identification Advance 

Shipment Notices; OMB Control 

Number 0704–0434. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit and not-for profit institutions. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. 

Frequency: On Occasion. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Number of Respondents: 5,217. 

Responses per Respondent: 3,782. 

Annual Responses: 19,732,850. 

Average Burden per Response: 

Approximately 1.16 seconds. 

Annual Burden Hours: 6,358. 

Needs and Uses: DoD uses advance 

shipment notices for the shipment of 

material containing Radio Frequency 

Identification (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 that has increased 

visibility of assets and permits delivery 

of supplies to the warfighter more 

quickly. 

The clause at DFARS 252.211–7006, 

Passive Radio Frequency Identification, 

requires the contractor to ensure that the 

data on each passive RFID tag are 

unique and conform 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 encodes 

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 electronically 

submits advance shipment notices with 

the RFID tag identification in advance of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title and OMB Number: Defense 

Federal Acquisition Regulation 

Supplement (DFARS) Part 246, Quality 

Assurance, and related clauses at 

252.246; OMB Control Number 0704– 

0441. 

Needs and Uses: The information 

collections under OMB Control Number 

0704–0441 pertain to all information 

that offerors or contractors must submit 

related to DFARS contract quality 

assurance programs. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit and not-for- profit institutions. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Number of Respondents: 34,842. 

Annual Responses: 122,024. 

Annual Burden Hours: 2,075,685 

(includes 39,075 reporting hours and 

2,036,610 recordkeeping hours). 

a. 252.246–7003, Notification of 

Potential Safety Issues. Contracting 

officers require timely notification of 

potential safety defects so that (1) 

systems and equipment likely affected 

by the situation can be readily 

identified, and (2) appropriate 

engineering investigation and follow-on 

actions can be taken to establish and 

mitigate risk. 

b. 252.246–7005, Notice of Warranty 

Tracking of Serialized Items. The 

information provided by offerors under 

this solicitation provision alerts 

contracting officers in those cases where 

the offeror is proposing to provide a 

warranty for an individual contract line 

item for which DoD has not specified a 

warranty in the solicitation. The 

warranty notice will permit the 

Government to recognize and utilize any 

warranty after contract award. 

c. 252.246–7006, Warranty Tracking 

of Serialized Items. The information 

provided by contractors allows DoD to 

track warranties for item unique 

identification (IUID) required items in 

the IUID registry to obtain maximum 

utility of warranties provided on 

contracted items. The identification and 

enforcement of warranties is essential to 

the effectiveness and efficiency of DoD’s 

material readiness. Providing visibility 

and accountability of warranty data 

associated with acquired goods, from 

the identification of the requirement to 

the expiration date of the warranted 

item, significantly enhances DoD’s 

ability to take full advantage of 

warranties, resulting in— 

(1) Reduced costs; 

(2) Ability to recognize benefits 

included at no additional cost; 

(3) Ability to compare performance 

against Government-specified 

warranties; and 

(4) Identification of sufficient 

durations for warranties for specific 

goods. 

d. 252.246–7008, Sources of 

Electronic Parts. The contracting officer 

uses the information to ensure that the 

contractor performs the traceability of 

parts, additional inspection, testing, and 

authentication required when an 

electronic part is not obtained from a 

trusted supplier. The Government may 

also use this information to more 

actively perform acceptance.
