*Type of Request:*                     Reinstatement, with change, of a previously approved collection for which approval has expired.                

*Number of Respondents:*                     1,246.                

*Responses Per Respondent:*                     2.

*Average Burden Per Response:*                     10 minutes.                

*Annual Burden Hours:*                     415.                

*Need and Uses:*                     The purpose of these surveys is to assess the level of service the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) provides to its current customers. The surveys will provide information on the level of overall customer satisfaction, and on customer satisfaction with several attributes of service that impact the level of overall satisfaction. These customer satisfaction surveys are required to implement Executive Order 12862, “Setting Customer Service Standards.” Respondents are DTIC registered users who are components of the Department of Defense, military services, other Federal Government Agencies, U.S. Government contractors, universities involved in federally-funded research, and participants in the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) and the small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) programs. The information obtained by these surveys will be used to assist agency senior management in determining agency business policies and processes that should be selected for examination, modification, and reengineering from the customer's perspective. These surveys will also provide statistical and demographic basis for the design of follow-on surveys. Future surveys will be used to assist monitoring of changes in the level of customer satisfaction over time.                

*Affected Public:*                     Business or Other For-Profit; Not-For-Profit Institutions.
