Air Force Public Affairs and Air Force
Recruiting Service wish to survey recruitment-age youth and the
adults who influence them, to determine perceptions and awareness
of and attitudes toward the USAF, its people and its mission.
Recruitment and retention of USAF people have become increasingly
difficult due to many environmental factors, and the USAF is
launching its first paid network television advertising campaign to
address those recruiting and retention challenges. The USAF will
use this study's results for planning and evaluation of that ad
campaign, as well as the broader communication initiative.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
