ACTION:
Notice.
The Department of Defense has submitted to OMB for clearance, the following proposal for collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
DATES:
Consideration will be given to all comments received by November 1, 2010.
Title and OMB Number: Retired Troops to Nurse Teachers Survey; OMB Control Number 0720-TBD.
Type of Request: New.
Number of Respondents: 1,744.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 1,744.
Average Burden per Response: 20 minutes.
Annual Burden Hours: 576 hours.
Needs and Uses: The 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (Conference Report) gives impetus to this study, which calls for an evaluation of the provision in the Troops to Nurse Teachers (TNT) Act of 2008. Specifically, DoD will examine the feasibility and merits of this congressional proposal that outlines a program to encourage former military nurses to take faculty positions in nursing schools, for the purpose of encouraging more nurse graduates to consider military service. The Department will survey military nurses who are on active duty but close to retirement eligibility (20 years of service), or recently retired. The primary purpose of collecting data from this group is to determine what factors would attract a retiree to teach nursing. The survey will also cover civilian nursing school students to determine what incentives might entice them to seek positions in the military.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Frequency: One time.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
