    Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: ROTC Smart Book Creative 
Research Survey.
    Needs and Uses: The Army ROTC Program produces approximately 75 
percent of newly commissioned officers for the U.S. Army. To do that, 
Army ROTC employs the services of an advertising agency, under joint 
contract with USAREC and OCAR. The agency provides all advertising, 
from concept through creation and placement, under the supervision of 
the U.S. Army Cadet Command Directorate of Marketing and Public 
Affairs. To determine the best way to attract quality young people, the 
agency and Cadet Command need to evaluate the creative concepts prior 
to production and placement. This is done by gathering opinions from 
prospects in the form of a survey.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 200.
    Number of Respondents: 800.
    Responses Per Respondent: 1.
    Average Burden Per Response: 15 minutes.
    Frequency: Other (one time).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The response will be captured on a standard 
survey instrument which will be designed to comply with OMB guidance, 
and the responses will be entered into a contractor database for 
analysis. The purpose of the information (opinions) is to refine 
targeted advertising to meet ROTC recruiting needs.
