SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. 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.

2. 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 4035, 1800 F Street, NW, Washington, DC 20405, telephone (202) 208-7312. Please cite OMB Control No. 9000-0056, Report of Shipment, in all correspondence.

   Dated: February 9, 1999. Edward C. Loeb, Director, Federal Acquisition Policy Division.
