SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Department of Defense 
Standard Tender of Freight Services, SDDC Form 364-R, OMB Control 
Number 0704-0261.
    Needs and Uses: The information derived from the DoD tenders on 
file with the Military Service Deployment and Distribution Command 
(SDDC) is used by SDDC subordinate commands and DoD shippers to select 
the best value carriers to transport surface freight shipments. Freight 
carriers furnish information in a uniform format so that the Government 
can determine the cost of transportation, accessorial, and security 
services, and select the best value carriers for 1.1 million Bill of 
Lading shipments annually. The DoD tender is the source document for 
the General Services Administration post-shipment audit or carrier 
freight bills.
    Affected Public: Business or other for profit.
    Annual Burden Hours: 5,391.
    Number of Respondents: 434.
    Responses per Respondent: 50.
    Annual Responses: 21,700.
    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Summary of Information Collection: The DoD tender format was 
developed to take advantage of improved information collection 
technology and to connect with ongoing initiatives to implement 
automated systems to file tenders, select carriers, quote rates, and 
audits. The disciplined data fields of the tenders will facilitate the 
Electronic Data Interchange of tender data between carriers and SDDC, 
also between SDDC subordinate commands and DoD shippers. This 
initiative ultimately will permit electronic filing of the tender and 
eliminate mailing paper documents, which are manually processed.
