[Docket ID USA-2010-0016]


Proposed Collection; Comment Request

AGENCY: Office of the Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the 
Army, (OAA-AAHS-RDR-C), DoD.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In compliance with section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, the Department of the Army proposes to extend a 
public information collection and seeks public comment on the 
provisions thereof. Comments are invited on: whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall 
have practical utility; the accuracy of the agency's 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 through the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology.

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by August 
30, 2010.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by docket number and 
title, by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: https://www.regulations.gov. 
Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
     Mail: Federal Docket Management System Office, 1160 
Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301-1160.

[[Page 38091]]

for comments and other submissions from members of the public is to 
make these submissions available for public viewing on the Internet at 
https://www.regulations.gov as they are received without change, 
including any personal identifiers or contact information.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on this 
proposed information collection or to obtain a copy of the proposal and 
associated collection instruments, please write to the Office of the 
Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower & Reserve Affairs)/G-1, Attn: 
SAMR-FMMR, (Dr. John Anderson), 111 Army Pentagon, Washington, DC 
20310-0111; or call Department of the Army Reports clearance officer at 
(703) 428-6440.
    Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: The Contractor Manpower 
Reporting System; OMB Control Number 0702-0120.
    Needs and Uses: This program greatly enhances the ability of the 
Army to identify and track its contactor workforce. Current systems do 
not have contractor manpower data that is collected by the contractor 
Manpower Reporting System--i.e., Direct Labor Hours, Direct Labor 
Dollars and Organization supported. Existing financial and procurement 
systems have obligation amounts of an unknown mix of services and 
supplies, and the Department of the Army is not able to trace the 
funding to the organization supported. Like all other Federal 
Government agencies, the Army's reliance on service contractor 
employees has increased significantly over the past few years.
    Affected Public: Business or other for profit.
    Annual Burden Hours: 1,018.
    Number of Respondents: 12,215.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes.
    Frequency: Annually.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Summary of Information Collection

    The Contractor Manpower Reporting System represents a program aimed 
at obtaining information regarding the use of contractor employees by 
the Army. Reliance on contractors in support of military operations 
will continue and likely grow. This guidance emphasizes the fact that 
armed forces are deploying and will deploy without a standard means of 
tracking the contractor workforce. Section 807 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 requires the Secretary of 
Defense not later than the third quarter of each fiscal year to submit 
to Congress an annual inventory of the activities performed during the 
preceding year pursuant to contracts for services for or on behalf of 
the Department of Defense.

    Dated: June 28, 2010.

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
