DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

[Docket No. DoD–2010–OS–0082] 

Information Collection; Comment 

Request 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Defense is 

submitting to OMB for emergency 

clearance, the following proposal for 

collection of information under the 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). The 

Department of Defense Comprehensive 

Review Working Group (CRWG) is the 

working group the Secretary of Defense 

directed to examine the issues 

associated with a repeal of the law 

known as ‘‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.’’ As 

part of this study, CRWG has requested 

that RAND update its report on ‘‘Sexual 

Orientation and U.S. Military Personnel 

Policy: Options and Assessment.’’ A 

shortened comment period of 5 days is 

necessary because the collection of 

information by RAND to update their 

report on sexual orientation in the 

military is needed prior to the 

submission of CRWG’s report to the 

Secretary of Defense to inform its 

recommendations to the Secretary. 

RAND’s report, therefore, must be 

finished by mid-September 2010. As 

RAND’s report requires the collection of 

data from numerous different sources in 

a range of locations throughout the 

country and world, it is necessary to 

begin data collection procedures as 

earlier as possible in June, 2010. 

DATES: Consideration will be given to all 

comments received by June 23, 2010. 

Title and OMB Number: Police, Fire, 

Private-Sector Organizations and

Needs and Uses: The Department of 

Defense Comprehensive Review 

Working Group (CRWG) is the working 

group the Secretary of Defense directed 

to examine the issues associated with a 

repeal of the law known as ‘‘Don’t Ask, 

Don’t Tell.’’ The CRWG is studying what 

impact, if any, repeal would have on 

military readiness, military 

effectiveness, unit cohesion, recruiting, 

retention, and family readiness. As part 

of these efforts, RAND was asked to 

update its report on sexual orientation 

in the military from 1993 and look at 

how repeal may impact the military. To 

give the broadest view of the potential 

impact repeal would have, RAND is 

talking with and studying a range of 

state government agencies and 

institutions, universities, and private 

companies. By talking to these groups, 

RAND will be able to give a better 

understanding of how, based on 

comparable experiences in other 

settings, repeal could impact the 

military. RAND’s study is, therefore, an 

important piece CRWG’s report to the 

Secretary of Defense that will also 

inform the writing of other sections of 

the final report. 

Affected Public: Business of other forprofit; state, local or tribal government. 

Frequency: One time. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
