    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is to obtain 
the information needed by the Secretary of the Air Force and the 
Secretary of State on which to base a decision to approve or disapprove 
a request to work for a foreign government. This approval is specified 
by Title 37, United States Code Section 908. This statute delegates 
such approval authority of Congress to the respective service 
secretaries and to the Secretary of State. Respondents are Air Force

must obtain approval of the Secretary of the Air Force and the 
Secretary of State to do so. Information, in the form of a letter, 
includes a detailed description of duty, name of employer, Social 
Security Number, and statements specifying whether or not the employee 
will be compensated; declaring if employee will be required or plans to 
obtain foreign citizenship; declaring that the member will not be 
required to execute an oath of allegiance of the foreign government; 
verifying that the member understands that retired pay equivalent to 
the amount received from the foreign government may be withheld if he 
or she accepts employment with a foreign government before receiving 
approval. Reserve members only must include a request to be reassigned 
to Inactive Status List Reserve Section (Reserve Section Code RB). 
After verifying the status of the individual, the letter is forwarded 
to the Air Force Review Board for processing. If the signed letter is 
not included in the file, individuals reviewing the file cannot furnish 
the necessary information to the Secretary of the Air Force and the 
Secretary of State on which a decision can be made. Requested 
information is necessary to maintain the integrity of the Request for 
Approval of Foreign Government Employment Program.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; business or other for-
profit.

    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
