ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department of Defense has submitted to OMB for clearance, the 
following proposal for collection of information under the provisions 
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Title and OMB Number: Stars and Stripes Audience Survey; OMB Number 
0704-0314.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement.

    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 3,000.
    Average Burden per Response: 24 minutes.

    Needs and Uses: This information collection requirement is 
necessary to evaluate current Stars and Stripes newspaper policies and 
practices, and provide information on demographics and consumer habits 
of Stars and Stripes readers for use in marketing initiatives.
