IV. Paperwork Reduction Act

This rule affects the certification and information collection requirements in the clause at DFARS 252.247-7028 (formerly DFARS 252.242-7003), Application for U.S. Government Shipping Documentation/Instructions, and the associated DD form 1659 (same title as the clause), currently approved under OMB Control Number 0704-0250, titled DFARS Part 242, Contract Administration and Audit Services, in the amount of 276,773 hours, in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). The impact, however, is negligible, because only minor changes in terminology are being made. There are no substantive changes made either to the form or the associated clause at DFARS 252.247-7028 (formerly 252.242-7003). No public comments were received on the paperwork impact in response to the proposed rule.
