Space‑A travelers must provide info
If you are a military family member or retiree eligible to travel space‑available ("Space A Cat VI"), a Passenger Service Agent will verbally collect your name, sex, and emergency contact when you request travel. The agent enters that data directly into the Cargo Movement Operations System (CMOS) to create a passenger manifest for the specific flight. The Air Force estimates 180 respondents annually, with an average burden of 6 minutes per response (18 annual burden hours).
Data used only for flight manifest
The Air Force says no paper forms are used and the collected information is used solely to create the manifest for the specific flight; the data will not be used for other reporting or statistical purposes. This process is intended to ensure an accurate roster for safety, security, and accountability of individuals on board.
