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).

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by July 20, 
2005.
    Title and OMB Number: Survey to Determine Economic Costs and Impact 
to Employers of Mobilized Reserve Component Members; OMB Control Number 
0704-TBE.
    Type of Request: New.
    Number of Respondents: 2,745.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 1,699.
    Average Burden per Response: .72.

    Needs and Uses: As the duration and frequency of reliance on 
Reserve members increases, the number of employers operating with

Understanding how employer operations are impacted, the adjustments 
they make to sustain operations, and the cost to make these adjustments 
is the focus of this research. The self-administered survey will be 
mailed to a nationally representative sample of United States employers 
of Guard and Reserve members mobilized since 2002. Collected 
information will be used to identify unmet needs, to evaluate the 
economic effects of DoD policy on the civilian economy, and to guide 
development of or revisions to policy and program initiatives.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit; not-for-profit 
institutions; State, local or tribal government.
    Frequency: One Time.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Mr. Lewis Oleinick.

collection should be sent to Mr. Oleinick at the Office of Management
