    Needs and Uses: The Security Assistance Network (SAN) is a web-
based database used to exchange Security Cooperation training 
information between overseas Security Cooperation Offices, Geographical 
Combatant Commands, Military Departments, Defense Security Cooperation 
Agency, DoD Schoolhouses, Regional Centers, and International Host 
Nation Organizations. The Security Cooperation Training Management 
System is a tool used by the Security Cooperation community to manage 
International Military Student training data.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 10,995.
    Number of Respondents: 43,980.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.

[[Page 40791]]

    Annual Responses: 43,980.
    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    The International Military Student Information (IMSI) that is 
collected on the SAN is used by the International Military Student 
Officer (IMSO) assigned to each training installation to prepare for 
the arrival and stay in the U.S. of the international training student. 
The collection of this information, in addition to the above, is for 
the issuance of invitational travel orders, student screening purposes, 
and to determine the student's likes and dislikes; his/her recreation 
activities; dietary restrictions; etc.
    The Security Cooperation Organization/Officer (SCO) collects the 
biographical data from International Military Students (IMS) to 
populate data tables in the SC-TMS. SCOs collect this information over 
the phone and/or in person. SCOs may access the system via username and 
password or if they are active DoD (civilian, military or contractor) 
members through CAC and pin. Data may also be collected from automated 
uploads from the Regional Center Persons Activity Management System 
(RCPAMS) and Defense Security Assistance Management System (DSAMS) DoD 
systems, however majority of IMS data is input directly into SCTMS by 
the SCO. Using the Security Cooperation-Training Management System (SC-
TMS) that is hosted on the Security Assistance Network (SANWeb), the 
SCO enters the collected biographical data.
    The IMS trains at United States Military schoolhouses. The IMSO at 
the schoolhouse/training activity logs onto SC-TMS to view the IMSI 
data and uses it to support the IMS while during their arrival and stay 
for training.
