Annual Burden Hours: 2,075,685 (includes 39,075 reporting hours and 2,036,610 recordkeeping hours). 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. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title and OMB Number: Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Subpart 227.71, Rights in Technical Data, and Subpart 227.72, Rights in Computer Software and Computer Software Documentation, and related provisions and clauses; OMB Control Number 0704–0369. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit institutions. Respondent’s Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits. Reporting Frequency: On occasion. Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection. Number of Respondents: 75,250. Responses per Respondent: 13, approximately. Annual Responses: 959,602. Average Burden per Response: 1 hour, approximately. Annual Response Burden Hours: 904,574. Annual Recordkeeping Burden Hours: 90,600. Total Annual Burden Hours: 995,174. Needs and Uses: DFARS subparts 227.71 and 227.72 prescribe the use of solicitation provisions and contract clauses containing information collection requirements that are associated with rights in technical data and computer software. DoD needs this information to implement 10 U.S.C. 2320, Rights in technical data, and 10 U.S.C. 2321, Validation of proprietary data restrictions. DoD uses the information to recognize and protect contractor rights in technical data and computer software that are associated with privately funded development; and to ensure that technical data delivered under a contract are complete and accurate and satisfy contract requirements. DoD uses the following DFARS provisions and clauses in solicitations and contracts to require offerors and contractors to identify and mark data or software requiring protection from unauthorized use, release, or disclosure in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2320: 252.227–7013, Rights in Technical Data—Noncommercial Items. 252.227–7014, Rights in Noncommercial Computer Software and Noncommercial Computer Software Documentation. PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 252.227–7017, Identification and Assertion of Use, Release, or Disclosure Restrictions. 252.227–7018, Rights in Noncommercial Technical Data and Computer Software—Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program. In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2320(a)(2)(D), DoD may disclose limited rights data to persons outside the Government, or allow those persons to use data with use, release, or disclosure restrictions, if the recipient agrees not to further release, disclose, or use the data. Therefore, the clause at DFARS 252.227–7013, Rights in Technical Data—Noncommercial Items, requires the contractor to identify and mark data or software that it provides with limited rights. In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2321(b), contractors and subcontractors at any tier must be prepared to furnish written justification for any asserted restriction on the Government’s rights to use or release data. The following DFARS clauses require contractors and subcontractors to maintain adequate records and procedures to justify any asserted restrictions: 252.227–7019, Validation of Asserted Restrictions—Computer Software. 252.227–7037, Validation of Restrictive Markings on Technical Data. In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2320, DoD must protect the rights of contractors that have developed items, components, or processes exclusively at private expense. Therefore, the clause at DFARS 252.227–7025, Limitations on the Use or Disclosure of GovernmentFurnished Information Marked with Restrictive Legends, requires a contractor or subcontractor to submit a use and nondisclosure agreement when it obtains data from the Government to which the Government has less than unlimited rights. In addition, DFARS 227.7103–7, Use and nondisclosure agreement, requires intended recipients of technical data or computer software delivered to the Government with restrictions on use, modification, reproduction, release, performance, display, or disclosure, to sign the use and nondisclosure agreement at 227.7103–7(c) prior to release or disclosure of the data, unless the recipient is a Government contractor that requires access to a third party’s data or software for the performance of a Government contract that contains the clause at 252.227–7025, Limitations on Use or Disclosure of GovernmentFurnished Information Marked with Restrictive Legends. According to 10 U.S.C. 2320(a)(2)(D), DoD may disclose limited rights data to persons outside the Government, or allow those persons E:\FR\FM\07SEN1.SGM 07SEN1
