The information collection requirement is necessary to administer the JCOC Program; to verify the eligibility of nominators and candidates; and to select nominated individuals for participation in JCOC.
US Code:
10 USC 113
Name of Law: Secretary of Defense
There has been no change in overall burden; however now the three collection instruments are listed separately (three information collections), whereas under the previous approval, the instruments had all been listed under the same collection. The three instruments have different burden levels, so it was determined appropriate to have them listed separately.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
