Proposed Collection; Comment Request
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In compliance with Section 3506 (c) (2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Department of the Air Force announces the
proposed reinstatement of the Statement of Suspect/Witness/Complainants
form 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 function of the agency,
including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the
accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed
information collection; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information 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
September 5, 1997.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations on the proposed
information collection should be sent to HQ USAF/SFO, 1340 Air Force
Pentagon, ATTN: Major Nelson Jackson, Room: VC917, Washington, DC
20330-1340.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on this
proposed information collection or to obtain a copy of the proposal and
associated collection instruments, please write to the above address,
or call the Security Forces Operations Division at (703) 588-0017.
Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: Statement of Suspect/
Witness/Complainant, AF Form 1168, OMB Number 0701-0128.
Needs and Uses: The completed form is used as the source document
to record information and details of criminal activity which may
require investigative action by commanders, supervisors, security
police, AFOSI agents, etc. It is used to provide information to the
appropriate individuals within the DoD organization who ensure proper
legal and administrative action is taken. Failure to collect the data
from witnesses and complainants will degrade the positive
identification of offenders/victims, and subsequent resolution of
criminal activity.
Affected Public: Individuals or households, state and local
governments, small businesses or organizations.
Annual Burden Hours: 55,400.
Number of Respondents: 168,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of Information Collection
Respondents are personnel who are suspects, accused persons,
witnesses, or complainants. This form is used to document their
official statements to military police officers. Additionally, it is
used to document advisement of rights. If the form is not used, an
official statement may come into question on the authenticity of
statements given to police officials. This form is essential in
maintaining standard police processes.
