Summary of Information Collection

Respondents are individuals expressing an interest in participating in the USAF Museum System Volunteer Program authorized by 10 U.S.C. 81, Section 1588 and regulated by Air Force Instruction (AFI) 84-103. AFI 84-103, paragraph 3.5.3 requires the use of AF Form 3569. AF Form 3569 provides the most expedient means to secure basic personal information (i.e., name, telephone number, address and experience pursuant to USAF Museum System Volunteer Program requirements) to be employed solely by the USAF Museum System Volunteer Program to recruit, evaluate and make work assignment decisions. AF Form 3569 is the only instrument that exists which facilitates this purpose. The USAF Museum Volunteer Program is an integral function in the operation of the USAF Museum System. Volunteers provide valuable time, incalculable talent, skill and knowledge of USAF aviation history so that all visitors to the many USAF Museum System facilities throughout the United States may enjoy the important contribution of USAF historical heritage.
