TITLE: Air Force Research Laboratory

Public Awareness Survey.

Needs and Uses: Air Force Research

Laboratory has taken on a major effort

to educate and communicate to the

public contributions the Research

Laboratory plays in developing the Air

Force of the future. As such, it is

imperative the Research Laboratory

understands the current level of

information the average Air Force

member has regarding the laboratory’s

contributions. With this information,

the Air Force Research Laboratory will

be better able to develop

communication strategies for the Air

Force Research Laboratory to employ

with the public.

Affected Public: Individuals and

households residents (18 years and

older) of telephone-equipped

households in the U.S. not including

Alaska and Hawaii.

Annual Burden Hours: 36.75.

Number of Respondents: 882 Called

by phone.

Responses per Respondent: 1.

Average Burden per Response: 5

Minutes.

Frequency: At 2-year intervals.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Summary of Information Collection

This survey will serve multiple

purposes. It will gauge the American

public’s awareness of, familiarity with,

attitudes about and feelings toward the

Air Force Research Laboratory. It will

also gauge where the American public

would go for information regarding the

Air Force Research Laboratory. The

survey asks what they currently know

about the laboratory and notes some

discoveries and projects the lab has

worked and whether these are familiar

to the American public or not. The

survey also asks if they are familiar with

the publications and products of the

laboratory and asks how satisfied they

are with these products. The survey will

allow for comparisons of data to better

target communication efforts to

effectively communicate Air Force

Research Laboratory information to the

public. Findings from these surveys of

the civilian population also will be

compared with similar data to be

gathered from the internal Air Force

population at approximately the same

time, providing a valuable head-to-head

comparison of civilians’ and Air Force

people’s perceptions of what the Air

Force Research Laboratory does.

Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
