The Department of the Air Force, part of the Department of Defense, is proposing a new information collection and invites public comments. This collection, in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, aims to gather information using the DD Form 1833 to help identify and recover isolated or missing DoD personnel. This process is essential for ensuring the safety of military and civilian personnel serving overseas. Feedback from the public is sought to assess the necessity, accuracy, and methods of minimizing the burden of this data collection, with comments due by February 10, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The Air Force wants to collect information to help find people who go missing, like soldiers, but they need everyone's thoughts on how to do it better and safer. They want to make sure they're not using too much private info like Social Security numbers without keeping it safe.
