Summary of Information Collection
The SDDC provides global surface deployment command and control and
distribution operations to meet National Security objectives in peace
and war. To carry out its mission, SDDC works with industry partners in
several program areas: Freight Domestic Distribution Program; Freight
Global Distribution Program; Passenger Traffic Management Program;
Personal Property Traffic Management Program. Most industry partners
only provide services in one or two of the program areas, so the survey
design provides for transparently skipping respondents only to the
sections that are relevant to them. These voluntary partnership surveys
will continue to be a collaborative effort to obtain feedback for improving the SDDC business processes.

Title and OMB Number: Industry Partnership Survey; OMB Number 0702 TBD.
Needs and Uses: SDDC will use the survey information to improve the
efficiency, quality, and timeliness of its processes, as well as to
strengthen its partnership with industry. Although the survey
instruments are brief, with only basic information requested to measure
satisfaction and to obtain feedback on areas that may require
improvement, SDDC expects the data, comments, and suggestions offered
by the respondents to help improve the performance of its systems and
contain costs. Because the survey asks about the roles of SDDC
employees, the responses will also help improve the SDDC exercise of project oversight responsibilities.
