Abstract: Military (and, as required, civilian agency) storage and distribution points, depots, and other receiving activities require advance notice of large shipments en-route from contractors' plants per FAR 47.208, Report of Shipment. Timely receipt of notices by the consignee transportation office precludes the incurring of demurrage and vehicle detention charges. FAR clause 52.247-68, Report of Shipment, is to be inserted in solicitations and contracts when advance notice of shipment is required is required for safety or security reasons, or where carload or truckload shipments will be made to DoD installations or, as required, to civilian agency facilities.

Short Statement: The information collection requirement in the FAR is adjusted upward. The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) handles the majority of these types of shipments in the Federal Government.

Based on this information, the estimated total burden hours are adjusted from 167 hours to 9,999 hours to better reflect the actual public burden. Each respondent on average responds 303 times per year with REVSHIP information to USTRANSCOM regarding notice of shipment.
