Subpart 227.72, Rights in Computer Software and Computer Software 
Documentation, and related provisions and clauses of the Defense 
Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS); OMB Control Number 
0704-0369.
    Type of Request: Revision.
    Number of Respondents: 75,250.
    Responses per Respondent: Approximately 13.
    Annual Responses: 959,602.
    Average Burden per Response: Approximately 1 hour.

    Annual Recordkeeping Burden Hours: 90,600 hours.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for profit 
institutions.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Needs and Uses: DFARS Subparts 227.71 and 227.72 prescribe the use 
of solicitation provisions and contract clauses containing information 
collection requirements that are associated with rights in technical 
data and computer software. DoD needs this information to implement 10

of proprietary data restrictions. DoD uses the

[[Page 59202]]

information to recognize and protect contractor rights in technical 
data and computer software that are associated with privately funded 
developments; and to ensure that technical data delivered under a 
contract are complete and accurate and satisfy contract requirements.
    Respondent's Obligation:
    a. Identification and assertion of use, release, or disclosure 
restrictions prior to delivery. DFARS provision 252.227-7017, 
Identification and Assertion of Use, Release, or Disclosure 
Restrictions, is used in all noncommercial solicitations that include 
either DFARS clauses 252.227-7013, Rights in Technical Data--
Noncommercial Items; 252.227-7014, Rights in Noncommercial Computer 
Software and Noncommercial Computer Software Documentation; and 
252.227-7018, Rights in Noncommercial Technical Data and Computer 
Software--Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program, to require 
offerors to identify and assert, in their offer, technical data or 
computer software to be delivered with other than unlimited rights in 
their offer.
    b. Post-award notices of use, release, or disclosure restriction 
and marking. DFARS clauses 252.227-7013, Rights in Technical Data--
Noncommercial Items; 252.227-7014, Rights in Noncommercial Computer 
Software and Noncommercial Computer Software Documentation; and 
252.227-7018, Rights in Noncommercial Technical Data and Computer 
Software--Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program, require 
contractors to both identify and mark technical data or software that 
must be protected from unauthorized release or disclosure.
    c. Justification for any asserted restriction. DFARS 252.227-7019, 
Validation of Asserted Restrictions--Computer Software, and 252.227-
7037, Validation of Restrictive Markings on Technical Data, require 
contractors and subcontractors to maintain adequate records to justify 
the validity of any markings that assert restrictions on the 
Government's rights to use, modify, reproduce, perform, display, 
release or disclose delivered or required to be delivered.
    d. Use and non-disclosure agreement. DFARS 227.7103-7, Use and non-
disclosure agreement, requires intended recipients of technical data or 
computer software delivered to the Government with restrictions on use, 
modification, reproduction, release, performance, display, or 
disclosure, to sign the use and non-disclosure agreement at 227.7103-
7(c) prior to release or disclosure of the data, unless the recipient 
is a Government contractor that requires access to a third parties data 
or software for the performance of a Government contract that contains 
the clause at 252.227-7025, Limitations on Use or Disclosure of 
Government-Furnished Information Marked with Restrictive Legends.
    e. Limitations on use or disclosure. DFARS 252.227-7025, 
Limitations on the Use or Disclosure of Government-Furnished 
Information Marked with Restrictive Legends, requires contractors and 
subcontractors at any tier that obtain data from the Government to 
which the Government has only limited rights, restricted rights, or 
SBIR rights legends to submit a ``Use and Disclosure'' agreement.
    f. Identification of previously delivered technical data or 
computer software. DFARS 252.227-7028, Technical Data or Computer 
Software Previously Delivered to the Government, requires offerors to 
identify any technical data or computer software that it intends to 
deliver that are identical or substantially similar to technical data 
or computer software that the offeror has produced for, delivered to or 
is obligated to deliver to the Government.
