Pentagon Asks Public: Is Our Paperwork Really That Bad?

## Summary

The Department of Defense wants your thoughts on a new info collection about their Voluntary Education Partnership program. This affects schools and organizations working with the DoD, aiming to make sure everything runs smoothly and fairly.

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 the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

- Selected institutions must implement corrective actions: cost, low. From over 2,700 MOU signatories, the ICP narrows to 250 institutions for in-depth assessment and then provides feedback so those institutions can implement Corrective Action Plans to improve compliance with their MOUs.
