Secretariat will be submitting to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) a request to review and approve an extension of a currently

DATES: Comments may be submitted on or before February 8, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect 
of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing 
this burden, or obtaining a copy of the justification, should be 
submitted to: FAR Desk Officer, OMB, Room 10102, NEOB, Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    Military (and, as required, civilian agency) storage and 
distribution points, depots, and other receiving activities require 
advance notice of large shipments enroute from contractors' plants. 
Timely receipt of notices by the consignee transportation office 
precludes the incurring of demurrage and vehicle detention charges. The 
information is used to alert the receiving activity of the arrival of a 
large shipment.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Public reporting burden for this collection of information is 
estimated to average 10 minutes 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.
    The annual reporting burden is estimated as follows: Respondents, 
250; responses per respondent, 4; total annual responses, 1,000; 
preparation hours per response, .167; and total response burden hours, 
167.
    Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requester may obtain a copy of the 
justification from the General Services Administration, FAR Secretariat 
(MVRS), Room 4037, 1800 F Street, NW, Washington, DC 20405, telephone 
(202) 501-4755. Please cite OMB Control No. 9000-0056, Report of 
Shipment, in all correspondence.

    Dated: December 3, 1998.

Director, Federal Acquisition Policy Division.
