Firms contracting to sell to the Government where transportation or traffic management considerations are involved must provide information regarding the supplies and transportation involved in order to assure proper and timely shipment of the items.
The information collection increased slightly due to the number of responses per respondent being increased by three percent to better reflect the actual number of responses to the Government per year, as well as the average hours per response being increased by ten percent to better reflect the actual amount of time needed to address the transportation requirements. In addition, the information regarding the average wage is changed to reflect the salary of a GS-9, step 5 equivalent.
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).

(i) Why the information is being collected;
