SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Army Sex Offender 
Information; Department of the Army Form 3975; OMB Control Number 0702-
0128.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
to obtain and record the sex offender registration information of those 
sex offenders who live, work or go to school on Army installations. 
Respondents are any convicted sex offender required to register 
pursuant to any DOD, Army, State government, law, regulation, or policy 
where they are employed, reside, or are a student and live, work, or go 
to school on an Army installation. The information collected is used by 
Army law enforcement to ensure the sex offender is compliant with any 
court order restrictions.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit; individuals or 
households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 183.
    Number of Respondents: 550.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 550.
    Average Burden per Response: 20 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondents are sex offenders required to register with the state 
and live, work or go to school on an Army Installation. The information 
collected is used by Army law enforcement and the Garrison Commander to 
ensure the sex offender is compliant with any specific court ordered 
restrictions on Army installations. Data from members of the public is 
collected only by Army Law Enforcement authorized personnel. The 
frequency of sex offender registration with the PMO is not under the 
control of any Army Law Enforcement personnel, it is the responsibility 
of the sex offender who lives or works on the Army installations to 
follow Army policy and report to the PMO within 3 working days of 
assignment to the installation. Sex Offenders could live or work on an 
Army installation and live in government housing near schools or 
daycare without Army Law Enforcement's knowledge. Army Law Enforcement 
would be less able to complete its mission to provide security and law 
enforcement to safeguard personnel living and working on Army 
installations.
