Office of the Secretary December 16, 2020 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the National Defense University announces a proposed public information collection and seeks public comment on the provisions thereof. Comments are invited on: Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize the burden of the information collection on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

The Office of the Secretary of Defense proposes to exempt some records maintained in DoD 0003 ``Mobilization Deployment Management Information System (MDMIS)''. The proposed action is sought to protect classified information for national security purposes. In the course of carrying out collections and analysis of information, exempt records received from other Systems of Records may become part of this system. To the extent that copies of exempt records from those other systems of records are maintained in this system, the Department also claims the same exemptions for the records from those other systems that are maintained in this system, as claimed for the prior system(s) of which they are a part, provided the reason for the exemption remains valid and necessary.
