DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: Department of Defense.

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).

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by March 8, 
2004.
    Title, Form and OMB Number: Department of Defense Education 
Activity (DoDEA) High School Longitudinal Study; OMB Number [to be 
determined].
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Number of Respondents: 1,626.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 1,626.
    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 407.
    Needs and Uses: The Department of Defense Education Activity 
(DoDEA) operates 224 public schools in 21 districts located in 14 
foreign countries, seven states, Guam, and Puerto Rico. To evaluate the 
Quality High School Initiative developed at the DoDEA High School 
Symposium in October 2001, contact with DoDEA high school students and 
their sponsors who have left DoDEA high schools is necessary. Sponsors 
and students in grades 9 through 12 who leave DoDEA high schools for 
any reason (including permanent change of station and graduation) will 
be contacted three to five months after leaving DoDEA schools and then 
again one year later using a telephonic survey. The collected data will 
be used to determine if quality educational programs are provided to 
all DoDEA high school students, regardless of where their sponsors are 
stationed. There is no existing data that is sufficiently comprehensive 
to meet the need for this information requirement.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jacqueline 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: Ms. Jacqueline Davis. Written requests for 
copies of the information collection proposal should be sent to Ms. 
Davis, WHS/DIOR, 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite 1204, Arlington,
