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.

focused on a high-level evaluation of 

key trends, assumptions, and 

uncertainties associated with the future 

security environment; 

• Representatives from the Strategic 

Futures Group of the National 

Intelligence Council will discuss major 

structural trends and sources of 

uncertainty in the international system, 

their potential impacts on the future 

security environment, and help identify 

plausible alternative future scenarios 

against which DoD should plan; 

• DPB will discuss key medium-tolong term risks and opportunities facing 

the DoD, including the most significant 

trends that are guiding DoD planning; 

• Representatives from the Defense 

Intelligence Agency will discuss major 

trends in the Indo-Pacific, Europe, and 

the Middle East, including the 

interaction of geopolitical dynamics, 

transboundary challenges, and

DPB in drawing on its own expertise 

and experience to discuss key trends, 

challenges, and opportunities in the 

future security environment and to

3.155 the DoD has determined that this 

meeting shall be closed to the public. 

The Acting Under Secretary of Defense 

(Policy), in consultation with the DoD 

FACA Attorney, has determined in 

writing that this meeting is closed to the 

public because the discussions fall 

under the purview of 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) 

and are so inextricably intertwined with 

unclassified material that they cannot 

reasonably be segregated into separate 

discussions without disclosing 

classified material. 

Written Statements: In accordance 

with 5 U.S.C. 1009(a)(3) and 41 CFR 

102–3.140(c) and 102–3.150(6) the 

public or interested organizations may 

submit written statements to the 

membership of the DPB at any time 

regarding its mission or in response to 

the stated agenda of a planned meeting. 

Written statements should be submitted 

to the DPB’s DFO, who’s information is 

listed above in this notice in the FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section 

or can be obtained from the GSA’s 

FACA Database—http://

www.facadatabase.gov/. Written 

statements that do not pertain to a 

scheduled meeting of the DPB may be 

submitted at any time. However, if 

individual comments pertain to a 

specific topic being discussed at a 

planned meeting, then these statements 

must be submitted no later than one 

business day prior to the meeting in 

question. The DFO will review all 

submitted written statements and 

provide copies to all members.
