SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Police Records Check; DD 
Form 369; OMB Control Number 0704-0007.
    Needs and Uses: Title 10, United States Code, Sections 504, 505, 
and 12102 establish minimal standards for enlistment into the Armed 
Forces. Among other items, these sections specifically prohibit the 
enlistment of those convicted of a felony. The Services have therefore 
developed standards which address the acceptability for Service persons 
with police records, adverse juvenile adjudications, or court 
convictions. The standards are designed to screen out categories of 
persons who have probability of either having serious disciplinary 
problems or may not be able to adjust to the disciplinary demands of 
the Armed Forces. This information collection is needed to identify 
persons who may be undesirable for military service. The existence of a 
police record is one of the factors considered in establishing 
eligibility for enlistment or entry into highly sensitive career 
fields. Therefore, verification data from the individual and law 
enforcement agencies must be obtained before enlistment can occur. The 
form associated with this information collection is DD Form 369, 
``Police Record Check.'' It is used by recruiters to inquire on 
applicants' backgrounds prior to acceptance to the Armed Forces, when, 
in the judgment of the recruiter, an applicant may be withholding 
information of prior offense history.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 78,750.
    Number of Respondents: 175,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 175,000.
    Average Burden per Response: 27 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.

    Dated: December 18, 2024.

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
