of an approved information 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.
DATES: DoD will consider all comments received by July 12, 2016.

Regulation Supplement (DFARS); 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 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.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for profit
institutions.
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: 6,353.
Frequency: On Occasion.
Summary of Information Collection
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 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/.
