SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Consumer
Response Company Response Survey.
OMB Control Number: 3170–0069.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of a currently approved
information collection.
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
47,900.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 3,830.
Abstract: The purpose of this
information collection is to continue the
collection of consumer feedback
through an optional survey at the end of
the consumer complaint process.
Through the existing survey, consumers
have the option to provide feedback on
the company’s response to and handling
of their complaint. The results of this
feedback are shared with the company
that responded to the complaint to
inform its complaint handling. The
feedback is also used as one of several
inputs to inform the Bureau’s work to
assess the accuracy, completeness, and
timeliness of company responses to
consumer complaints.
The consumer has the ability to
answer three questions about the
company’s response to and handling of
his or her complaint and provide a
narrative description in support of each
answer. Positive feedback about the
company’s handling of the consumer’s
complaint would be reflected by
affirmative answers to each question
and by the narrative in support of each
answer. The Company Response Survey
allows consumers to offer both positive

and negative feedback on their
complaint experience.
Request for Comments: Comments are

information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Bureau, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the Bureau’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methods and the assumptions used;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) Ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology. Comments submitted in
response to this notice will be
summarized and/or included in the
request for OMB approval. All
comments will become a matter of
public record.

The AAR-57A Common Missile
Warning System (CMWS) detects energy
emitted by threat missile in-flight,
evaluates potential false alarm emitters
in the environment, declares validity of
threat and selects appropriate countermeasures. The CMWS consists of an
Electronic Control Unit (ECU), ElectroOptic Missile Sensors (EOMSs), and
Sequencer and Improved
Countermeasures Dispenser (ICMD).
Reverse engineering is not a major
concern. The ECU hardware is classified
CONFIDENTIAL; releasable technical
manuals for operation and maintenance
are classified SECRET.
Common Missile Warning System
(CMWS) User Data Module (UDM) to
support Generation III Electronics
Control Unit (ECU). The UDM is a
ruggedized, portable, hand-held data
storage device for securely receiving,
storing, and transferring data between
CMWS ECUs (similar to a flash, or
‘‘thumb‘‘ drive). The UDM itself is
UNCLASSIFIED when initially received.
However, when loaded with data, it
becomes classified to the appropriate
level of the data. In the case of CMWS
Software, this raises the classification
level to SECRET.
Common Missile Warning System
(CMWS) Classified Software is provided
as Country Specific Software required
for the operation and support of the
Common Missile Warning System
(CMWS) AN/AAR-57. The software,
once developed and encrypted, is
loaded on a User Data Module (UDM)
for transfer and use by the Customer.
The software is classified SECRET.
The AN/APR-39A Radar Signal
Detecting Set is a system that provides
warning of radar directed air defense
threat and allows appropriate
countermeasures. This is the 1553
databus compatible configuration. The
hardware is classified CONFIDENTIAL
when programmed with U.S. threat
data; releasable technical manual for
operation and maintenance are
