Processing System (DCOPS); AE Form 715-9A and AE Form 715-9C; OMB 
Control Number 0702-XXXX.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
if DoD contractors and their employees working in Germany and Italy 
request to be provided the same status under the NATO Status of Forces 
Agreement (SOFA) as DoD civilians working for the DoD in those Host 
Nations. The information collected is used to qualify the contractor 
employees for NATO SOFA status under the procedures outlined in the 
respective bilateral agreements between the US and the Host Nations. 
Allowing DoD contractors and their employees to obtain NATO SOFA status 
exempts them from most Host Nation taxation, and from the requirement 
to obtain work and residency permits while working in support of the 
DoD mission.
    Affected Public: Business or other for profit; Individuals or 
households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 1500.
    Number of Respondents: 1500.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 1500.
    Average Burden per Response: 60 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondents are DoD contractors and their contractor employees who, 
if desiring NATO SOFA status, must provide certain information under 
the bilateral agreements with the Host Nations. For contracts, the 
information provided is the contract itself, including a description of 
the work to be done by the contractor, and the various positions, 
locations, and salaries associated with each position on the contract. 
For the contractor employee, personal information to be provided 
includes full name, SSN, date and place of birth, resumes, dependent 
information, and sufficient personal historical information intended to 
assure the Host Nation that the contractor employee is not considered 
to be ``ordinarily resident'', i.e., a person who, under the bilateral 
agreements, would not be eligible for the tax relief provided by NATO 
SOFA status.
