SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: 
Defense User Registration System (DURS); OMB Control Number 0704-0546.
    Needs and Uses: DTIC requires all eligible users to be registered 
for access to DTIC's repository of access-controlled scientific and 
technical information documents. This system is called the Defense User 
Registration System, or DURS. The registration of a user enforces 
validation of an individual's identity, as well as that individual's 
persona (i.e., whether the individual is DoD, Federal government, or a 
contractor supporting the DoD or another federal agency) and that 
individual's authority to access limited and classified documents with 
distribution controls. A role-based environment based on a user's 
identification ensures security for DTIC's electronic information 
collection while the online systems increase availability of 
information to each user based on his or her mission needs.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households; Business or Other For-
Profit; Not-For-Profit Institutions.
    Annual Burden Hours: 1,325.
    Number of Respondents: 6,625.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 6,625.
    Average Burden per Response: 12 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.

    Dated: December 26, 2024.

Alternate OSD Federal Register, Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
