    Title: Army ROTC Referral Information, ROTC Form 155-R, OMB Control 
Number 0702-0111.

[[Page 2122]]

    Needs and Uses: The Army ROTC Program produces approximately 75 
percent of the newly commissioned officers for the U.S. Army. The Army 
ROTC must have the ability to attract quality men and women who will 
pursue college degrees. Currently, there are 13 recruiting teams 
(Goldminers) located in various places across the United States aiding 
in this cause. Their mission is to refer quality high school students 
to colleges and universities offering Army ROTC. Goldminers, two 
officer personnel, will collect ROTC Referral information at a high 
school campus and document it on ROTC Cadet Command Form 155-R.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 4,075.
    Number of Respondents: 16,300.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the information is to provide 
prospect referral data to a Professor of Military Science to contact 
individuals who have expressed an interest in Army ROTC. If Goldminers 
did not collect referral information, we would suffer a negative impact 
on the recruiting effort and subsequent commissioning of new officers 
for the U.S. Army.
