DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOD.

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: Employer Support of National Guard and 
Reserve Training and Service--National Guard and Reserve Survey; OMB 
Number 0704-[To Be Determined].
    Type of Request: New Collection.
    Number of Respondents: 2,400.
    Responses Per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 2,400.
    Average Burden Per Response: 30 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 1,200.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
to learn about employer tolerance for leaves of absence caused by the 
departure of National Guard and Reserve members from their workplaces 
to attend military training or to provide military service. In order to 
sustain and not to diminish employer support, it is important to learn 
about employer tolerance of absences due to Guard/Reserve obligations, 
and how such absences can be least disruptive to the employer when 
Guard and Reserve members are called to training or service. 
Respondents are employers, manager, and supervisors with hiring/firing 
authority within a diverse set of employers, both public and private. 
Results gathered from this survey will provide military leadership with 
new and important information to help them plan and manage more 
effectively, with a better understanding of the limits to removing 
Guard/Reserve members from their workplaces for military training and 
service.
    Affected Public: Business or Other For-Profit, Not-For-Profit 
Institutions; Federal Government; State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Mr. Edward C. Springer.
    Written comments and recommendations on the proposed information 
collection should be sent to Mr. Springer at the Office of Management 
and Budget, Desk Officer for DoD, Room 10236, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503.
    DOD Clearance Officer: Mr. Robert Cushing.
    Written requests for copies of the information collection proposal 
should be sent to Mr. Cushing, WHS/DIOR, 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, 
Suite 1204, Arlington, VA 22202-4302.

    Dated: July 1, 1999.
