Title and OMB Number: The Contractor Manpower Reporting Study; OMB Control Number 07020120.
Needs and Uses: Section 345 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002 (Pub. L. 107194) requires that the Secretary of the Army submit to Congress a report describing the use, during the previous fiscal year, of nonFederal entities providing services to the Department of the Army. The program will greatly enhance the ability of the Army to identify and track its contractor workforce.
Modern systems do not have contractor manpower data that is
collected by the Contractor Manpower Reporting System, i.e., estimated
direct labor hours, estimated direct labor dollars, and organization supported.
Affected Public: Business or other for profit.
Annual Burden Hours: 344.
Number of Respondents: 4,149.
Responses Per Respondent: 1.
Average Burden Per Response: 5 minutes.
Frequency: Annually.
supplementary information: Existing financial and procurement systems
have obligation amounts of an unknown mix, and the Department of Army
is not able to trace the funding of the organization supported. The
study will use a streamlined, userfriendly and secure Web site to obtain contractor workforce information.
