SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Cargo Movement Operations System (CMOS); OMB Control Number 0701-CMOS.

Needs and Uses: CMOS is used by the DoD to plan, manage, and execute the movement of cargo and personnel. In addition to the deployment of active military personnel, the passenger manifest capability supports military retirees and military family members traveling on a “Space A CAT VI” basis. Those passengers are considered to be “general public.” The data required for a passenger manifest includes PII, such as a Passport Number, and is deemed to be a “Collection.” This “general public” data is collected when passengers are at the Air Terminal; no solicitation is involved.

Affected Public: Individuals and Household.

Annual Burden Hours: 18.

Number of Respondents: 180.

Responses per Respondent: 1.

Annual Responses: 180.

Average Burden per Response: 0.1 hour.

Frequency: Approximately 180 times per year.

This passenger data is collected only on an as-needed basis when the passengers request the Space A travel, and is collected only at the Air Terminal. CMOS does not seek out these respondents and does not in any way solicit their participation. There are no paper forms for information requests sent to the travelers for them to return.

The sole purpose of this data is to provide a complete manifest of the passengers onboard the military flight. It is not used for any other reporting or statistical purposes.

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
