SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Summary of Information Collection

Respondents are individuals expressing an interest in participating in the USAF Heritage Program Volunteer Program authorized by 10 U.S.C. 81, Sec 1588 and regulated by the Air Force Instruction 84-103. AFI 84-103, 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 the USAF Heritage Program Volunteer Program requirements) to be employed solely by the USAF Heritage Volunteer Program and to recruit, evaluate and make work assignment decisions. AF Form 3569 is the only instrument that exists which facilitates this purpose. The NMUSAF Museum Volunteer Program is an integral function in the operation of the USAF Heritage Program. Volunteers provide valuable time, incalculable talent, skill, and knowledge of USAF aviation history so that all visitors to the many USAF Heritage Program facilities throughout the United States may enjoy the important contribution of USAF historical heritage.
