SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Summary of Information Collection

    The primary objective of the information collection is to determine 
that DoDEA has all the information it requires to make available a 
quality education, from prekindergarten through grade 12, for the 
eligible dependents of the Department of Defense (DoD) military and 
civilian personnel on official assignments. The DoDEA Form 600 secures 
data about each sponsor who enrolls a child in a DoDEA school to 
determine the child's eligibility for enrollment. Eligibility for 
enrollment depends on whether the sponsor is a member of the Armed 
Forces or a civilian employee of the DoD, and which component thereof 
(Armed Forces or DoD) he or she is a member; or is an employee of 
another Federal Agency; or is a DoD contractor; or whether the sponsor 
is a U.S. citizen or a foreign national; and whether the sponsor is 
assigned overseas or to an military installation in the U.S. 
Eligibility also depends on whether the student is a dependent of a 
member of the Armed Forces or of the Federal Government who is 
authorized Federally funded transportation to an overseas assignment, 
or is authorized residence on a domestic U.S. military installation. 
The DoDEA Form 600 also secures information about each enrolled student 
to ensure that DoDEA makes available the appropriate classrooms, 
staffing, and supportive services. The data collected on the DoDEA Form 
600, ``DoDEA Student Registration,'' is covered by the DoDEA System of 
Records Notice DoDEA 26 available at: http://privacy.defense.gov/notices/osd/DODEA26.shtml, ``Department of Defense Education Activity 
Dependent Children's School Program Files.'' The paper forms and 
electronic data systems containing the sponsor and dependent personally 
identifying information are secured in accordance with the requirements 
of Federal law and implementing DoD regulations.
