SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: The Defense Institute of 
Security Assistance Management (DISAM) Information Technology Mission 
System (DISM); DISAM Form GSI-001; OMB Control Number 0704-0548.
    Needs and Uses: DISM is a web based portal designed to hold several 
web applications for the purposes of efficient administration of U.S. 
and international students, and the effective management of DISAM 
personnel and guest lecturers. The portal provides DISAM personnel the 
ability to submit travel request and travel arrangements. Finally, the 
web based portal uses a relational database to record, manage and 
report information about students, personnel and travel. Reports of 
annual training of Foreign nationals to Congress as required by 22 U.S. 
Code 2394 (Foreign Assistance Act (FAA)) and 22 U.S. Code 2770A (Arms 
Export Control Act (AECA)).

DISM Guest Speaker Form:

    Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 52 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 206.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 206.

    Average Number of Responses: 1.5.
    Total Annual Responses: 18,838.5
    Average Burden per Response: 15 mins.
    Respondents are contractor personnel, non-DOD U.S. Federal 
Government, Foreign Service nationals, industry students, guest 
speakers and lecturers involved in the Security Cooperation initiatives 
as prescribed by the President of the United States, Congress and 
Departments of State and Defense. Security Cooperation and Assistance 
programs as authorized by the FAA and the AECA are required to be 
administered by qualified personnel receiving formal education through 
the DISAM or other authorized Security Cooperation agencies. If the 
information collected on the student registration form is not 
collected, personnel looking to verify the qualifications of 
individuals in the Security Cooperation workforce database on the SAN, 
DISAM Student Database or the DISAM Personnel Database would be unable 
to match personnel to training and ensure compliance with the Deputy 
Secretary of Defense directive and federal law requiring the reporting 
of training of foreign nationals (ref. AECA). The DISAM Personnel 
Database, in conjunction with the Travel Forms, maintains records of 
the personnel TDY travel and reimbursement as required by federal law 
and DoD regulations.
