WebLIONS will collect PII
The Web-based Legal Information Online System (WebLIONS) will collect personally identifiable information to provide legal assistance and to help Air Force attorneys track and manage cases, perform conflict checks, and generate legal documents. The information collection is listed under OMB Control Number 0701-0161 and is intended to support legal assistance for individuals and households.
Short voluntary 3-minute form
Participation in the WebLIONS information collection is voluntary and applies to about 194,000 respondents. Each response takes an average of 3 minutes, resulting in 9,700 annual burden hours based on 194,000 annual responses.
System streamlines legal assistance
The WebLIONS system is designed to optimize information technology and streamline the legal assistance process by eliminating manual case tracking and physical storage requirements and by helping compile and analyze statistical data related to providing legal assistance to clients. These changes are intended to improve the process of providing legal assistance to individuals and households.
