Control Number: ‘‘Department of 

Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) 

Non-Sponsored Research Program,’’ 

DoDEA Form 2071.3–F1, OMB 

CONTROL NUMBER 0704–0457. 

Needs and Uses: The Department of 

Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) is 

a DoD field activity operating under the 

direction, authority, and control of the 

Deputy Under Secretary of Defense, 

Military Community and Family Policy. 

The DoDEA operates 196 schools in 14 

districts located in 12 foreign countries, 

seven states, Guam, and Puerto Rico. 

The DoDEA receives requests from 

researchers to conduct non-DoDEA 

sponsored research studies in DoDEA 

schools, districts, and/or areas. To 

review the proposed research requests, 

DoDEA is seeking renewal for the 

DoDEA Administrative Instruction 

2071.3 (DoDEA AI 2071.3) that includes 

DoDEA Form 2071.3–F1, ‘‘Research 

Study Request.’’ The DoDEA ‘‘Research 

Study Request’’ collects information 

about the researcher, the research 

project, audience, timeline, and the 

statistical analyses that will be 

conducted during the proposed research 

study. 

This information is needed to ensure 

that the proposed non-DoDEA 

sponsored research does not unduly 

interfere with the classroom 

instructional process or the regular 

operations of the school, district, and/or 

areas. 

Affected Public: Federal government; 

individuals or Households. 

Annual Burden Hours: 30 hours. 

Number of Respondents: 30. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Average Burden per Response: 1 hour. 

Frequency: Once. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection 

The DoDEA Administrative 

Instruction 2071.3 (DoDEA AI 2071.3) 

follows the DoD Directive 3216.2, 

‘‘Protection of Human Subjects and 

Adherence to Ethical Standards in DoDSupported Research,’’ March 25, 2002, 

which states that ‘‘The rights and 

welfare of human subjects in research 

supported or conducted by the DoD 

Components shall be protected. This 

protection encompasses basic respect 

for persons, beneficence, and justice in 

the selection of subjects.’’ To ensure that 

all non-DoDEA sponsored research 

conducted in the DoDEA school system 

protects the dignity, well-being, and 

confidentiality of any individual(s) 

involved in the research, including the 

rights guaranteed legally and 

constitutionally and by DoDEA policies, 

DoDEA created the DoDEA Form 

2071.3–F1, ‘‘Research Study Request’’ 

that collects data that are used to review 

the proposed research study. 

The ‘‘Research Study Request’’ is 

required from individuals or 

organizations who wish to propose data 

collection activities and/or research 

studies not sponsored by DoDEA, that 

involve DoDEA school personnel, 

school facilities, sponsors, students, 

and/or data. This documentation is 

required to show that the research does 

not unduly interfere with the classroom 

instructional process or the regular 

operations of the school, district, and/or 

areas. Information collected on the 

DoDEA Form 2071.3–F1 ‘‘Research 

Study Request’’ includes the 

researcher’s name, address, telephone 

number, email address, FAX number (if 

available), school affiliation (if 

applicable), the study title, an abstract 

of the proposed study, an explanation 

on how the research study (1) is aligned 

with the DoDEA Community Strategic 

Plan, and (2) the impact of the study in 

the researcher’s field of study, the major 

hypothesis(es) or question(s) to be 

tested, the population and/or sample to 

be studied, a description and copy of 

instruments, other data collection 

activities, the timetable for the study, 

and the statistical or other analysis 

techniques to be used during the study.

Title and OMB Control Number: 

‘‘Department of Defense Education 

Activity (DoDEA) Sure Start Parent 

Questionnaire,’’ OMB CONTROL 

NUMBER 0704–0456. 

Needs and Uses: The Sure Start 

Parent Questionnaire is an instrument to 

measure the overall satisfaction level of 

parents of students enrolled in DoDEA 

Sure Start programs. This collection is 

necessary to meet the Government 

Performance and Results Act of 1993, 

Public Law 103–62; 107 Stat. 285, that 

requires agencies to have strategic plans 

and to consult with affected persons. A 

major purpose of the regulation is to 

improve Federal program effectiveness 

and public accountability by promoting 

a new focus on results, service quality, 

and customer satisfaction. The parent 

survey is also a required component of 

the annual evaluation of the Sure Start 

program as required by DoDEA. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Annual Burden Hours: 366. 

Number of Respondents: 1100. 

Responses per Respondent: 2. 

Average Burden per Response: 10 

minutes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection 

The Department of Defense Education 

Activity (DoDEA) Sure Start Parent 

Questionnaire will be administered to 

all parents/sponsors of students 

enrolled in DoDEA Sure Start programs. 

Sure Start is the equivalent of prekindergarten but targets preschoolers 

who are ‘‘at risk’’ for later school failure 

because of economic circumstance or 

other health and/or family factors. In 

addition to offering a high-quality 

educational program that reflects best 

practices in the field, Sure Start also 

provides health and nutrition, social, 

and parent involvement services. Close 

collaboration between families, schools, 

and the installation community is 

viewed as essential and a required part 

of the program, to include parental 

feedback on the program. Participation 

in the survey is completely voluntary 

and will be administered via paper/hard 

copy format. All data are collected and 

analyzed at the school level only. The 

questionnaire will give parents/sponsors 

an opportunity to indicate their overall 

level of satisfaction with DoDEA Sure 

Start programs. The questionnaire will 

be administered biannually; typically in 

the middle of the school year and at the 

school year’s end. 

The information derived from these 

surveys will be used to improve service 

and planning efforts at school level. 

This information is one of many 

measures used for future planning of 

programs and services offered to 

DoDEA’s students.
