Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary
to comply with section 861 of Public Law 110-181 and DoD Instruction
3020.41, ``Operational Contract Support'' and other appropriate policy,
Memoranda of Understanding, and regulations. The Department of Defense,
the Department of State (DoS), and the United States Agency for
International Development (USAID) require that Government contract
companies enter their employee's data into the Synchronized
Predeployment and Operational Tracker (SPOT) System before contractors
are deployed outside of the United States. SPOT is also used during
Homeland Defense and Defense Support of Civil Authority Operations in
the United States. Any persons who choose not to have data collected
will not be entitled to employment opportunities which require this
data to be collected.
Affected Public: Business or other for profit.
Annual Burden Hours: 46,760.
Number of Respondents: 1670.
Responses per Respondent: 56.
Annual Responses: 93,520.
Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
Data collection on contractors is a condition of DoD contracts when
DFARS 252.225-7040, Contractor Personnel Authorized to Accompany U.S.
Armed Forces Deployed Outside the United States, is incorporated. This
clause applies when contractors are authorized to accompany U.S. Armed
Forces deployed outside of the United States in contingency,
humanitarian or peacekeeping operations or other military operations/
exercises when designated by the Combatant Commander.
SPOT is the authorized system for contractor accountability and the
only system that provides the Letter of Authorization (LOA) which is
required for access to Authorized Government Services (AGS) which are
assigned on the LOA for each individual contractor IAW their contract
by the responsible Contracting Officer. If the data is not collected to
generate the LOA, contractors would not be able to obtain AGS in their
deployed locations, including access to dining facilities--limiting
their ability to obtain critical life support.
