Annual software reporting burden
The DoD will continue collecting Software Resource Data Reports on DD Forms 3026-1, 3026-2, and 3026-3 from 35 respondents. That collection totals 430 annual responses and 6,880 annual burden hours, with an average burden per response of 16 hours and the activity occurring annually.
Reporting trigger at $100,000,000
Under 10 U.S.C. 2334(g) and Department of Defense Instruction 5000.73, acquisition programs with anticipated costs that individually or collectively exceed $100,000,000 must provide cost and software data. That statutory $100,000,000 threshold triggers the requirement to submit the cost data reports.
Submission is voluntary
The notice states the respondent's obligation is voluntary. If you are asked to provide these Software Resource Data Reports, providing them to DoD is voluntary and the collection happens on an annual basis.
