Office of the Secretary

[Docket ID: DoD-2013-OS-0223]

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Defense has submitted to OMB for clearance, 
the following proposal for collection of information under the 
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by June 30, 
2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Fred Licari, 571-372-0493.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title, Associated Form and OMB Number: Assessing Options for CONUS 
Domestic Dependents Elementary and Secondary Schools (DDESS); OMB 
Control Number 0704-TBD.
    Type of Request: New.
    Number of Respondents: 28.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 28.
    Average Burden per Response: 120 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 56.
    Needs and Uses: The objective of this project is to recommend 
options that most effectively balance cost and quality considerations 
for primary and secondary schooling of military dependents on each of 
the 15 continental United States (CONUS) installations where the 
Department of Defense currently operates Domestic Dependents Elementary 
and Secondary Schools (DDESS) or contracts with local educational 
agencies (LEAs) to operate

schools on the installation. As part of the study, we will interview 
superintendents of LEAs that are in close proximity to installations 
that have DDESS schools (excluding those installations that only have 
special arrangement schools). The interviews will capture information 
on the approach the LEAs will adopt if they were given the 
responsibility to educate DDESS students, as well as identify factors 
that might facilitate or hinder LEAs taking the responsibility of 
educating DDESS students. This information is critical as it will 
identify whether transferring DDESS schools to LEAs is even a feasible 
option that could be plausibly considered for the governance of the 
current CONUS DDESS schools.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: Once.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
