DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request

ACTION: Notice.

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).

Title, Associated Form, and OMB

Number: Air Force ROTC College

Scholarship Application; AF Form 113;

OMB Number 0701–0101.

Type of Request: Extension.

Number of Respondents: 11,000.

Responses Per Respondent: 1.

Annual Responses: 11,000.

Average Burden Per Response: 42

minutes.

Annual Burden Hours: 7,700.

Needs and Uses: Respondents are

high school students or graduates

between the ages of 16 and 21 years.

Respondents must complete all

requirements listed in the application

package and return before the final

deadline of December 1. Due to the

number of factors that have proven to

influence successful completion of a

college program, it is necessary to

collect information in all areas listed on

the application. Additionally, the

national average attrition from college is

about 40 percent. In order to obtain a

reasonable return for the dollars

expended on scholarships, we must

apply as comprehensive an evaluation

of each candidate as possible. Without

this screening process, the

consequences to this federal program

would be wasted dollars on individuals

who left the program prior to incurring

an obligation to serve in the military. In

addition to the concern for the economy

of scholarship dollars, Congressional

oversight of the program demands that

the Services be able to report on the

numbers and kinds of individuals who

apply for scholarships and provide

leads for AFROTC units around the

nation.

Affected Public: Individuals or

Households.

Frequency: On occasion.

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to

Obtain or Retain Benefits.

OMB Desk Officer: Mr. Edward C.

Springer.

Written comments and

recommendations on the proposed

information collection should be sent to

Mr. Springer at the Office of

Management and Budget, Desk Officer

for DOD, Room 10236, New Executive

Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.

DOD Clearance Officer: Mr. Robert

Cushing.

Written requests for copies of the

information collection proposal should

be sent to Mr. Cushing, WHS/DIOR,

1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite

1204, Arlington, VA 22202–4302.

Dated: January 22, 1998.

BILLING CODE 5000–04–M

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

List of Institutions of Higher Education

Ineligible for Federal Funds

AGENCY: Department of Defense.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This document is published

to identify institutions of higher

education that are ineligible for

contracts and grants by reason of a

determination by the Secretary of

Defense that the institution prevents

military recruiter access to the campus

or students or maintains a policy against

ROTC. It also implements the

requirements set forth in the Omnibus

Consolidated Appropriations Act of

1997 and 32 CFR Part 216.

Recently, American University

reported modifications to policies of its

Washington College of Law sufficient to

merit removal of that college from the

list of ineligible schools. Currently, no

institution of higher education is

ineligible for contracts of grants under

the aforementioned law and policy.

ADDRESSES: Director for Accession

Policy, Office of the Assistant Secretary

of Defense for Force Management

Policy, 4000 Defense Pentagon,

Washington, DC 20301–4000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

William J. Carr, (703) 697–8444.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April

8, 1997 (62 FR 16691), the Department

of Defense published 32 CFR part 216 as

an interim rule. This rule requires that

the Department of Defense semiannually publish a list of the

institutions of higher education

ineligible for Federal funds due to a

policy or practice that either prohibits,

or in effect prevents, the Secretary of

Defense from obtaining, for military

recruiting purposes, entry to campuses,

access to students on campuses, access

to directory information on students or

that has an anti-ROTC policy. On

December 9, 1997 (62 FR 64813), the

Department of Defense published a list

of the institutions of higher education

ineligible for Federal funding; this

notice updates and supersedes that

listing.

Dated: January 22, 1998.

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison

Officer, Department of Defense.
