## Attachment 3 Procedures

 1.  DoD INFORMATION COLLECTIONS.  A DoD information collection is processed as either a DoD internal information collection, a DoD public information collection, or a DoD congressional information collection.

a.  DoD Internal Information Collection Process.  DoD internal information collections shall be approved or exempted by the DoD IICO in accordance with the procedures set forth in this attachment and Reference (a).  Approved DoD internal information collections will be assigned an RCS and an expiration date or certified as an exempted DoD internal information collection as appropriate.


## B.  Requests By An Entity External To Dod



(1)  When a DoD Component receives an information collection request from an entity outside of DoD (e.g., Federal agencies, State Governments, public organizations), the Component shall follow their own internal Component procedures.  If the Component does not have any established procedures, the requesting entity shall be directed to forward the information collection request to the Head of the DoD Component for approval to collect information from the Component's employees.


(2)  When an information collection request from an external entity involves more than one OSD or DoD Component, the external entity must obtain an OSD Component sponsor to serve as the official DoD sponsor of the information collection.  The OSD Component sponsor shall process these requests as DoD internal information collection requests in accordance with section 2 of this attachment.

c.  DoD Public Information Collection Process.  Information collected by DoD from the public is a public information collection requirement and shall be processed in accordance with Chapter 3 of Reference (a).  If an information collection can be considered a public and DoD internal information collection requirement, the request shall be processed in accordance with the procedures in Chapter 3 of Reference (a), and the DoD Public Information Collections Officer will advise a course of action to capture the cost burden to DoD Components.


d.  Congressional Information Collection Process.  Information collected that is reported directly to Congress is a congressional information collection requirement and shall be processed in accordance with DoDI 5545.02 (Reference (d)). 2.  APPROVAL AND LICENSING OF DoD INTERNAL INFORMATION COLLECTIONS
a.  DD Form 2936


(1)  The DD Form 2936 shall be used to request approval of and to license DoD
internal information collections by assigning them an RCS.  Instructions for preparing a DD
Form 2936 are available on the DoD Internal Information Collections webpage.



(2)  All approving signatures for requesting and responding Components must be at the Senior Executive Service (SES) or equivalent level.  This authority may not be delegated.


(3)  Expedited or emergency approval requests must be signed by the Head or Principal Deputy of the sponsoring OSD or DoD Component and at the SES or equivalent level for responding Components.  This signature authority for expedited or emergency approval cannot be delegated.  See section 4 of this attachment for the procedures to request an expedited or emergency DoD internal information collection.



(4)  Once the sponsor, required coordinators, and respondents have signed the DD
Form 2936, the sponsoring Component's IMCO shall endorse and forward the completed form to the DoD IICO for approval and licensing at dod.internal.collect@whs.mil.


b.  Cost Estimate.  A cost estimate is required for all DoD internal information collections to determine if the expected benefit of the information collected is worth the cost burden of its collection.  The estimated cost to compile, analyze, and promulgate a DoD internal information collection shall:

(1)  Be generated using the CAPE cost guidance website in accordance with Reference (b).


(2)  Be documented on the DD Form 2936.  Cost estimates for the sponsoring Component and each responding Component must be obtained from the CAPE website, and shall be included on the DD Form 2936.

## C.  Coordination



(1)  Mandatory Coordination


(a)  Respondents.  All respondents to a DoD internal information collection shall be given an opportunity to coordinate on the proposed DoD internal information collection.



1.  DoD internal information collections not directly required by statute, law, Federal regulation or Executive Order (E.O.) must have concurrence from all respondents before they can be approved.



2.  DoD internal information collections required by statute, law, Federal regulation or E.O. are not optional and may be approved without the coordination of all respondents as long as the respondents are given the opportunity to coordinate.  The DoD internal information collection sponsor is responsible for providing documentation showing each


respondent was afforded an opportunity to coordinate and including an estimated cost on the DD
Form 2936 for each respondent who does not provide coordination.



(b)  Component Privacy Official.  All DoD internal information collection requests that contain personal information on individuals shall be coordinated with the sponsoring Component's privacy official to ensure compliance with DoD Regulation 5400.11-R
(Reference (e)).  Coordination with the OSD or DoD Component privacy official (as appropriate) is mandatory if the DoD internal information collection is a survey (see paragraph 2.d of this attachment for special procedures for surveys).



(c)  Records Management Official.  All DoD internal information collection requests shall be coordinated with the sponsor's records management official as required to ensure that the appropriate records disposition schedule has been identified in accordance with the respective agency's records disposition schedule.


(d)  Component Chief Information Officer (CIO).  All DoD internal information collection requests for collection of information via computer systems or in electronic format shall be coordinated with the sponsoring Component's CIO to ensure that the information will be appropriately safeguarded and:
1.  Collected, stored, and otherwise processed in information systems that comply with requirements for information assurance as described in DoD Directive (DoDD) 8500.01E (Reference (f)) DoDI 8500.2 (Reference (g)), DoDI 8510.01 (Reference (h)) and DoDI 5400.16 (Reference (i)).

2.  Collected and provided in formats and methods that ensure accessibility in accordance with DoD 8400.01-M (Reference (j)).



(e)  Director, Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC).  All surveys shall be coordinated with DMDC for review in accordance with DoDI 1100.13 (Reference (k)). DMDC should be contacted early in the development and design of the survey to ensure it meets scientific standards.  DoD Components shall provide a copy of the DMDC coordination with the DD Form 2936.  Paragraph 2.d of this attachment contains additional special procedures for surveys.



(f)  Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) Component Program Manager.  DoD internal information collections involving the gathering of information on human subjects shall be coordinated with the HRPP and comply with DoDD 3216.02 (Reference (l))
and part 219 of title 32, Code of Federal Regulations (Reference (m)).



(g)  Component Forms Management Official.  DoD internal information collections involving the use of a form shall be coordinated with the sponsoring Component forms manager to determine if the form should be controlled in accordance with DoD 7750.07-M
(Reference (n)).


(2)  DoD Internal Information Collections Prescribed in DoD Issuances.  DoD
internal information collections prescribed in a DoD issuance shall be coordinated with the issuance as one action.  A draft DD Form 2936 with estimated costs for all respondents and sponsor shall be posted to the DoD Directives Portal when the DoD issuance is posted to the Portal for coordination in accordance with DoDI 5025.01 (Reference (o)).  As applicable, coordination with the Component privacy official, sponsor's records management official, the Component CIO, Director, DMDC, the HRPP Component program manager and the Component forms manager shall be accomplished and documented on the DoD Form 2936 prior to it being posted to the Portal.  The coordination provided with the issuance in accordance with Reference (o) will be used to satisfy the coordination requirements normally captured on the DoD Form 2936.  Coordination of the cost estimate between the sponsor of the DoD internal information collection and the respondents is highly encouraged before posting to the Portal.



d.  Special Requirements for Surveys

(1)  All surveys of DoD personnel that extend outside of the sponsoring Component shall be coordinated with the OSD or DoD Component privacy official (as appropriate) and Director, DMDC as required by Reference (k).


(2)  Survey instruments used to collect information from the DoD Components shall prominently display a Privacy Act Statement or Privacy Act Advisory (when applicable) and the DoD internal information collection RCS (when applicable) in the upper right-hand corner of the cover.


(3)  DoD Components should consult with their Office of General Counsel before deciding to provide gifts or payments to Federal employees for providing information to ensure such gifts or payments do not violate rules against dual compensation.


(4)  Focus groups are subject to the same approval procedures as other DoD
internal information collections and must be conducted using written agendas, pre-approved questions, or other standard protocols.

e.  Timeline for Approval, Reinstatement, or Change of a DoD Internal Information Collection.  The sponsor of a DoD internal information collection will be notified with a memorandum for the record of the approval or rejection of the DoD internal information collection within 5 workdays of receipt of the completed DD 2936.  The memorandum for the record will include DoD IICO's justification for the approval or rejection of the DoD internal information collection, clearance terms, the RCS, and the expiration date of the RCS. 3.  MODIFICATION OR RENEWAL OF DoD INTERNAL INFORMATION COLLECTIONS
a.  Changes to DoD Internal Information Collections

(1)  Substantial Changes.  If a DoD internal information collection has changed substantially prior to expiration, a new cost estimate must be prepared and submitted with a new DD Form 2936.  Substantial changes to a DoD internal information collection requirement may require modification of the prescribing and supporting issuances.  Substantial changes include but are not limited to:


(a)  Change in frequency of collection.



(b)  Increase in cost that exceeds an adjustment for inflation.


(c)  Change in number of respondents.


(d)  Change to the content of the DoD internal information collection.


(2)  Minor Changes.  Minor changes to a DoD internal information collection may include the organizational name change of a sponsoring or responding Component, the correction of a misspelled word on the DoD internal information collection instrument, etc.  If a DoD internal information collection requires minor changes prior to its expiration, email the changes to the DoD IICO at dod.internal.collect@whs.mil who will determine if the changes are minor and if a new DD Form 2936 is required.


b.  Extensions to DoD Internal Information Collections.  An extension to a DoD internal information collection may be requested for a maximum of 2 years beyond the current expiration date provided there are no substantial changes to the DoD internal information collection.  See subparagraph 3.a.(1) of this attachment for a list of substantial changes.  Extensions are approved by the DoD IICO and may only be granted once.  Extension requests require the submission of a DD Form 2936.  An extension request is not required for a DoD internal information collection in a prescribing DoD issuance when that issuance is certified as current provided there have been no substantial changes to the collection.  Extensions cannot exceed the lifetime of the prescribing issuance.


c.  Reinstate Expired DoD Internal Information Collections.  The reinstatement of an expired DoD internal information collection and associated RCS requires the completion of a new DD Form 2936.


d.  Transfer Sponsorship of DoD Internal Information Collections.  A DoD internal information collection sponsor may transfer a DoD internal information collection to another Component by completing DD Form 2936-1.  The transfer must be signed by the transferring Component, the receiving Component, and each Component's IMCO.  The signature authority for the transferring Component and the receiving Component must be at the SES level and this authority cannot be delegated.  If the DoD internal information collection is prescribed by a DoD issuance, the prescribing issuance shall be administratively updated to reflect the transfer of sponsorship in accordance with Reference (o).


e.  Cancel DoD Internal Information Collections.  DoD internal information collections should be discontinued whenever they have served the purpose for which they were originally intended, when the cost of production exceeds the value provided, or when continued collection of the information would violate Federal law or DoD policy.  An SES level sponsor of a DoD
internal information collection may discontinue a collection by submitting the request to the DoD IICO at dod.internal.collect@whs.mil.  DoD internal information collections prescribed in DoD issuances may be cancelled in one of two methods.



(1)  Mandatory Changes to Prescribing DoD Issuances.  If the cancelled DoD
internal information collection is prescribed by a DoD issuance, the prescribing issuance must be simultaneously administratively updated in accordance with Reference (o) to remove the DoD internal information collection.



(2)  Cancellation of Prescribing DoD Issuances.  A DoD internal information collection prescribed by an issuance shall be cancelled when that issuance is cancelled in accordance with Reference (o).  The DoD IICO shall update the corresponding listing of valid RCSs and notify the sponsoring Component IMCO of the cancelled DoD internal information collection.  If the DoD internal information collection in the issuance being cancelled is still necessary, a new DD Form 2936 must be submitted to the DoD IICO for approval and licensing. 4.  EXPEDITED OR EMERGENCY APPROVAL OF DoD INTERNAL INFORMATION COLLECTIONS.  DoD internal information collections may be granted a temporary RCS by the DoD IICO without prior completion of the cost summaries and coordination required by the DD
Form 2936.  The DoD IICO will determine if a DoD internal information collection warrants expedited or emergency approval.  The DoD IICO will determine the required fields of the DD Form 2936 to be completed by the sponsor of the DoD internal information collection on a caseby-case basis.

a.  Insufficient planning or administrative oversight do not warrant expedited or emergency approval.

b.  Expedited or emergency approval requests must meet one of the following criteria:

(1)  The normal approval process will cause harm to the DoD, another Federal agency, or the public.


(2)  An unanticipated event has occurred (such as a natural disaster) that requires the urgent processing and approval of a DoD internal information collection.


(3)  Normal approval procedures are likely to prevent or disrupt collection of information, or cause a statutory or court-ordered deadline to be missed.

c.  An expiration date of no more than 180 days from the approval date will be assigned to a DoD internal information collection approved under expedited or emergency procedures. All remaining documentation not required by the DoD IICO when expedited or emergency approval is granted must be completed and submitted to the DoD IICO prior to the expiration date of the temporary RCS or the DoD internal information collection will expire (e.g., cost summaries, coordination with respondents).


d.  Requests for expedited or emergency approval must be submitted to the DoD IICO
through the DoD Component's IMCO, and the DD Form 2936 must be signed by the OSD or DoD Component Head or Principal Deputy. 5.  EXEMPTED DoD INTERNAL INFORMATION COLLECTIONS.  DoD internal information collection requirements meeting one of the criteria in paragraph C4.4. of Reference (a) may be exempted by the DoD IICO from the formal DoD internal information collection licensing procedures in this DTM.  If a DoD internal information collection does not meet one of the exemptions in paragraph C4.4. of Reference (a), then the DoD internal information collection will require the assignment of an RCS.  Exempted DoD internal information collections prescribed by DoD issuances will be reviewed during the issuances approval process and the exemption will be specified in the information collection requirements paragraph of the issuance.
The DoD IICO will serve as the determining authority for exempted DoD internal information collections.  Contact the DoD IICO for confirmation of an exempted DoD internal information collection at dod.internal.collect@whs.mil.

## Attachment 4 Expiration Procedures For Dod Internal Information Collections 1.  Expiration


a.  The expiration date for a DoD internal information collection shall not exceed 5 years from the date it is approved by the DoD IICO or the publication date of the prescribing DoD
issuance, whichever is later.



b.  A DoD internal information collection that is also a public information collection shall expire 3 years after it is approved by OMB, unless otherwise specified by OMB.


c.  A DoD internal information collection prescribed by a DTM shall expire when the DTM expires, but cannot exceed 5 years from the publication date of the DTM.

d.  One-time DoD internal information collections shall be valid for up to 1 year and cannot be extended or revised.

e.  Emergency or expedited DoD internal information collections shall be valid for up to
180 days.

2.  REVIEW CYCLE AND PROCEDURES
