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 proposals for collection of information under the provisions 
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by 
September 30, 2002.
    Title OMB Number: Air Force Recruiting Information Support System 
(AFRISS); OMB Number 0701-[New Collection].
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Number of Respondents: 1,300,000.
    Responses Per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 1,300,000.
    Average Burden Per Response: 64 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 1,386,413.
    Needs and Uses: Air Force Recruiting Service requires the 
collection of specific information on prospective Air Force enlistees 
entering the Air Force. The information is used to create the initial 
personnel record, prescreen, and qualify enlistees fit for service and 
ultimately induction. The information is also collected to process 
security clearances and to record metrics to be used for demographics/
market research and system performance. AFRISS provides comprehensive 
integration, interface, and standardization of all programs that manage 
personnel resources in support of Air Force recruiting. The system 
extends automated capabilities out to the individual recruiter, flight, 
squadron, and groups. It provides an automated interface to the 
Military Entrance Processing Center Station (MEPS) where applicants 
undergo physical evaluation, testing, verification interviews, and 
tentative job reservation. It will provide an automated interface to 
the Modernized Military Personnel System (MilMod) where only pertinent 
and required applicant information is placed in a permanent military 
system of record. It also provides reporting capabilities at all levels 
of Air Force Recruiting management to make informed decisions on 
recruiting business rules and practice to increase the number of 
accessions.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jackie Zeiher.
    Written comments and recommendations on the proposed information 
collection should be sent to Ms. Zeiher 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: August 26, 2002.
