OMB Control Number: 0694‐0119
Expiration Date: 24 November 2014
DEFENSE INDUSTRIAL BASE ASSESSMENT:
Strategic Materials
SCOPE OF ASSESSMENT
The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), Office of Technology Evaluation (OTE), in coordination with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is conducting an
industrial base survey and assessment of the supply chain associated with six critical and strategic materials required for key defense systems and platforms.
The primary goal of this assessment is to assist the defense community in understanding the health and competitiveness of critical material suppliers, and identify specific issues and problems
facing the industry. Over the longer term, agencies will be better informed to develop targeted planning and acquisition strategies to ensure the availability of the materials supply chain to
support critical defense missions and programs.
RESPONSE TO THIS SURVEY IS REQUIRED BY LAW
A response to this survey is required by law (50 U.S.C. app. Sec. 2155). Failure to respond can result in a maximum fine of $10,000, imprisonment of up to one year, or both. Information
furnished herewith is deemed confidential and will not be published or disclosed except in accordance with Section 705 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (50 U.S.C App. Sec.
2155). Section 705 prohibits the publication or disclosure of this information unless the President determines that its withholding is contrary to the national defense. Information will not be
shared with any non‐government entity, other than in aggregate form. The information will be protected pursuant to the appropriate exemptions from disclosure under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA), should it be the subject of a FOIA request.
Not withstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to respond to nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number.
BURDEN ESTIMATE AND REQUEST FOR COMMENT
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 14 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering
and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of
information to BIS Information Collection Officer, Room 6883, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, D.C. 20230, and to the Office of Management and
Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project (OMB Control No. 0694‐0119), Washington, D.C. 20503.
