The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking public comments as it requests an extension of approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for an information collection involving its recruitment process. This collection includes questionnaires and applications used to screen potential active duty and reserve members for both enlisted and officer positions. The Coast Guard is interested in feedback on the necessity, utility, and clarity of this information collection and aims to ensure it imposes only necessary paperwork burdens. Comments can be submitted online until January 8, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Coast Guard wants to keep asking people some important questions to learn if they can join as helpers or leaders, and they're checking with other important departments to see if that’s okay; they also want people to tell them if these questions make sense or take too long.
