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).

[[Page 60926]]


DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by November 
24, 2003.
    Title, Form, and OMB Number: Air Force Research Laboratory Market 
Research Survey; OMB Number 0701-(To be determined.).
    Type of Request: New Collection.
    Number of Respondents: 1,000.
    Responses Per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 500
    Average Burden Per Response: 15 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 125.
    Needs and Uses: This survey will serve multiple purposes. It will 
guage government, industry, and academia's awareness of, familiarity 
with, attitudes about, and feelings toward the Air Force Research 
Laboratory (AFRL). It will also gauge what the AFRL Technology Horizons 
readership thinks of the magazine and the AFRL. The survey asks what 
they currently know about the laboratory and their experiences with 
various outreach programs, such as technology transfer, small business 
innovation research, independent research and analysis, and dual use 
science and technology. The survey also asks magazine readers to 
identify strengths and weaknesses of the magazine to guide the AFRL in 
future changes to the magazine to better meet readers' needs. The 
survey will allow for comparisons of data to better target 
communication efforts to effectively communicate AFRL information to 
the public. Findings from these surveys of the civilian population will 
be compared with similar data to be gathered from the internal AFRL 
leadership at approximately the same time, providing a valuable head-
to-head comparison of civilian and AFRL leadership perceptions of how 
well the AFRL does its job.
    Affected Public: Business or Other For-Profit.
    Frequency: Biennially.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jacqueline Zeiher.
    Written comments and recommendations on the proposed information 
collection should be sent to Ms. Zeiher at the Office of Management and 
Budget, Desk Officer for DoD, Room 10236, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503.
    DOD Clearance Officer: Ms. Jacqueline Davis.
    Written requests for copies of the information collection proposal 
should be sent to Ms. Davis, WHS/DIOR, 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, 
Suite 1204, Arlington, VA 22202-4302.
