Much of the data that the Defense
Technical Information Center handles is controlled, either because
of distribution limitations or security classification. All
potential users are required to register for service. The
registration procedure is mandated by DOD Instruction 3200.14,
Principles and Operational Parameters of the DOD Scientific and
Technical Information Program. Federal Government agencies and
their contractors are required to complete the DD Form 1540. The
contractor community completes a separate DD Form 1540 for each
contract or grant and registration is valid until the contract
expires.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
