    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Application to Operate a 
Military Auxiliary Radio System (MARS) Station; Army MARS Form AM-1; 
OMB Control Number 0702-XXXX.
    Needs and Uses: The MARS program is a civilian auxiliary 
organization consisting primarily of licensed amateur radio operators 
who are interested in assisting the military with communications on a 
local, national, and international basis as an adjunct to licensed and 
published national (civilian and military) communications and providing 
worldwide auxiliary emergency or contingency communications during 
times of need in support of the Department of Defense. The information 
collection requirement, use and storage is necessary to determine an 
applicant's eligibility for the program and initiate a background 
investigation (should a security clearance be required), and to 
maintain a current and accurate roster of program enrollees as well as 
to keep a historical data base on completed/adjudicated (accepted, not 
accepted, no longer affiliated) applications. Secondary use of the 
collected information is used to show the geographic dispersion of the 
members who participate in the global High Frequency radio network 
program and to ensure our radio spectrum authorizations cover the 
geographic areas from which our members would operate. Tertiary, the 
information is used to send periodic email informational updates and 
status/news about the MARS program.
    Affected Public: Individual members of the general public and 
Federal Communications Commission licensed Amateur Radio operators who 
are interested in providing emergency and contingency communications.
    Annual Burden Hours: 660.
    Number of Respondents: 660.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Average Burden per Response: 1 hr.

[[Page 13837]]

    Frequency: On occasion.
    Individuals and FCC licensed Amateur Radio operators voluntarily 
indicate a desire to join the Army MARS program. These interested 
individuals are required to submit the ``Application to Operate a MARS 
Station form'' for verification of applicants qualifications and 
certifications required for acceptance into the program. Once accepted 
into the MARS program, the information provided is entered into the 
MARS membership database so that the Program Manager has accurate 
roster of all current and former members of Army MARS. Member 
information, specifically the email address, is used by the Program 
Manager disseminate general program information, upcoming training 
events, and other related activities. Member phone numbers are also 
used (on occasion) as a secondary means to contact members as well as 
to solicit information, ideas and observations directly. Postal address 
are used to validate current mailing information and to categorize 
members physical locations, thereby generating an accurate overview of 
members locations throughout the world to aggregate radio network 
coverage. Concurrently, the postal address is used to mail certificates 
of achievement and appreciation to those members who excel in their 
participation supporting the MARS program. The date of birth is used to 
verify that minimum age restrictions for acceptance into the MARS 
program and initiate a security clearance background check (if 
required).
