Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: 375,383 hours are reduced, as 0704-0496, in its 2013 submission, covered FSOs servicing 1,063,138 JPAS person records for updates twice per year, for a total of 2,126,276 annual responses. Guidance from Washington Headquarters Service in 2015 indicated that servicing records for those subjects with dual-category or Reservist status does not constitute a public information collection. Therefore, the burden associated with servicing these 563,138 JPAS dual-category records is removed. The burden of servicing the remaining 500,000 records, all of whom are Industry personnel, remains. 7,333 hours are reduced, because 0704-0496 previously covered the time burden on respondents of completing the JPAS system access request form, the DD Form 2962, which is, as of November 2015, covered under a separate OMB Control Number, 0704-0542, expiration 9/30/2018. The burden estimates associated with JPAS users completing and submitting the DD 2962 to request JPAS access is no longer included (44,000 JPAS users completing an access request form for 10 minutes each).

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $700,420
