Office of the Secretary

[Docket No. DoD-2009-HA-0157]


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department of Defense has submitted to OMB for clearance, the 
following proposal for collection of information under the provisions 
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by November 
1, 2010.
    Title and OMB Number: Retired Troops to Nurse Teachers Survey; OMB 
Control Number 0720-TBD.
    Type of Request: New.
    Number of Respondents: 1,744.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 1,744.
    Average Burden per Response: 20 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 576 hours.
    Needs and Uses: The 2008 National Defense Authorization Act 
(Conference Report) gives impetus to this study, which calls for an 
evaluation of the provision in the Troops to Nurse Teachers (TNT) Act 
of 2008. Specifically, DoD will examine the feasibility and merits of 
this congressional proposal that outlines a program to encourage former 
military nurses to take faculty positions in nursing schools, for the 
purpose of encouraging more nurse graduates to consider military 
service. The Department will survey military nurses who are on active 
duty but close to retirement eligibility (20 years of service), or 
recently retired. The primary purpose of collecting data from this 
group is to determine what factors would attract a retiree to teach 
nursing. The survey will also cover civilian nursing school students to 
determine what incentives might entice them to seek positions in the 
military.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: One time.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Mr. John Kraemer.
