ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    In compliance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, the Department of the Army announces a proposed public 
information collection and seeks public comment on the provisions 
thereof. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection 
of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions 
of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate

[[Page 54875]]

of the burden of the proposed information collection; (c) ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the information 
collection on respondents, including through the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by December 
7, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations on the proposed 
information collection should be sent to Headquarters U.S. Army, ROTC 
Cadet Command, Marketing Directorate, Fort Monroe, Virginia 23651, 
Attn: (CPT Eric Miller, Jr.). Consideration will be given to all 
comments received within 60 days of the date of publication of this 
notice.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on this 
proposed information collection or to obtain a copy and associated 
collection instruments, please write to the above address, or call 
Department of the Army Reports clearance officer at [phone].
    Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: Army ROTC Referral 
Information, ROTC CDT CMD Form 155-R.
    Needs and Uses: The Army ROTC Program produces approximately 75 
percent of the newly commissioned officers for the U.S. Army. Army ROTC 
must have the ability to attract quality men and women who will pursue 
college degrees. Currently, there are 13 Recruiting Teams (Goldminers) 
located in various places across the United States aiding in this 
cause. Their mission is to refer quality high school students to 
colleges and universities offering Army ROTC. Goldminers, two officer 
personnel, will collect ROTC Referral information at a high school 
campus and document it on ROTC Cadet Command Form 155-R.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden hours: 4,075.
    Number of Respondents: 16,300.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the information is to provide 
prospect referral data to a Professor of Military Science to contact 
individuals who have expressed an interest in Army ROTC. If Goldminers 
did not collect referral information, we would suffer a negative impact 
on the recruiting effort and subsequent commissioning of new officers 
for the U.S. Army.
