DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

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: Survey of Army Applicants Who Were Qualified 
Not Enlisted (QNE) or Those Who Entered the Delayed Entry Program (DEP) 
But Chose Not to Enlist: OMB Number 0702-[To Be Determined].
    Type of Request: New Collection.
    Number of Respondents: 8,000.
    Responses Per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 2,240.
    Average Burden Per Response: 21 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 784.
    Needs and Uses: This survey effort will collect expectation metrics 
concerning the value of Army enlistment incentives, training, and job/
occupational choices. A very large number of individuals make a 
decision to enlist in the Army and, although qualified, do not complete 
the enlistment process. Another group of individuals actually enlist, 
and become members of the Delayed Entry Program, then later change 
their mind prior to actual ship date and become a loss. Understanding 
the reasons for these losses may place the Army Recruiting Command in a 
better position to provide the necessary number of recruits to maintain 
end strength.
    Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
    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: October 25, 2000.
Patricia L. Toppings,
Alternate, OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
