*Needs and Uses:*                     The information collection requirement is necessary to obtain and record the sex offender registration information of those sex offenders who live, work or go to school on Army installations. Respondents are any convicted sex offender required to register pursuant to any DoD, Army, State government, law, regulation, or policy where they are employed, reside, or are a student and live, work, or go to school on an Army installation. The information collected is used by Army law enforcement to ensure the sex offender is compliant with any court order restrictions.                

*Affected Public:*                     Business or other for profit; Not-for-profit institutions and Individuals and Households.

*Number of Respondents:*                     120.                

*Responses per Respondent:*                     1.

                    Respondents are sex offenders required to register with the state and live, work or go to school on an Army Installation. The information collected is used by Army law enforcement and the garrison commander to ensure the sex offender is compliant with any specific court ordered restrictions on Army installations. Data from members                           ( print page 42794)                        of the public is collected only by Army law enforcement authorized personnel. The frequency of sex offender registration with the Provost Marshal Office (PMO) is not under the control of any Army law enforcement personnel, it is the responsibility of the sex offender who lives or works on the Army installations to follow Army policy and report to the PMO within 3 working days of assignment to the installation. Sex offenders could live or work on an Army installation and live in government housing near schools or daycare without Army law enforcement's knowledge. Army law enforcement would be less able to complete its mission to provide security and law enforcement to safeguard personnel living and working on Army installations.
