Abstract: In accordance with title 5, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 1320.13, "Emergency Processing," the Department of Defense requests emergency processing and approval of a public information collection requirement. The purpose of this emergency submission is to obtain data from companies on the total taxes assessed to them by Afghanistan and to reduce the Department's assistance to Afghanistan from funds appropriated for such assistance for fiscal year 2014.

Emergency Justfication: This emergency submission is necessary because the report to Congress is overdue and reduction of assistance is to come from fiscal year 2014 funds. If the data collection is not approved under an emergency process, it will impede the Department’s ability to meet the requirements in section 1216 of NDAA 2014.
