SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: President Barack Obama signed Executive 
Order 13607 on April 27, 2012 to address the problem of aggressive and 
deceptive targeting of Service members, veterans, and their families by 
some educational institutions. Section 4 of the Executive Order 
specifically calls for the creation of a robust, centralized complaint 
process for students receiving Federal military and veterans' 
educational benefits.
    DoD, along with the participating Federal agencies identified in 
the Executive Order have determined that this complaint process, in 
addition to taking in complaints about abusive or deceptive practices 
by schools, must create an opportunity for schools to resolve those 
complaints, and must ensure that complaint data is accessible both to 
the relevant components at the Departments of Defense, Veterans 
Affairs, and Education that review schools for compliance and program 
eligibility, as well as the relevant law enforcement agencies that will 
prosecute any illegal practices. Beyond creation of this complaint 
process, the agencies seek to prevent abusive, deceptive, and 
fraudulent marketing practices through the following mechanisms: 
Establishment of risk-based program reviews; limits on access to 
military installations by educational institutions; and the use of 
intellectual property and other legal protections to ensure Web sites 
and programs are not deceptively suggesting military affiliation or 
endorsement.
    The centralized complaint system will provide a resource for 
students receiving military and veteran educational benefits to 
effectively submit complaints against institutions they feel have acted 
deceptively or fraudulently. The first step is to make it easier for 
prospective and current military students and spouse-students to raise 
these concerns.
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: DoD Postsecondary Education 
Complaint Intake Form, DD Form 2961; OMB Control Number 0704-0501.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
to obtain, document, and respond to egregious complaints, questions, 
and other information concerning actions post-secondary education 
programs and services provided to military service members and spouse-
students. The DoD Postsecondary Education Complaint Intake form will 
provide pertinent information such as: The content of the complaint, 
the educational institution the student is attending, the level of 
study, the education program the student is enrolled in, the type of 
education benefits being used, the branch of the military service, and 
the preferred contact information.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; business or other for-
profits; not-for-profit institutions.
    Annual Burden Hours: 16.
    Number of Respondents: 63.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 63.
    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Frequency: On Occasion.

Department of Defense (DoD) Postsecondary Education Complaint Intake 
form. The PECS Intake form is used to record

[[Page 32181]]

complaints concerning educational institutions that military spouses 
feel have acted deceptively, aggressively or fraudulently towards them. 
The Intake form documents information such as the level of study of the 
student, the educational institution the student is attending, the type 
of education benefits being used, the branch of the military service 
the spouses' sponsor, the content of the complaint, and the preferred 
contact information for the person making the contact. Complaint Case 
Managers use information from the Intake form to track and manage cases 
and to coordinate a resolution with educational institutions, and to 
provide feedback to the respondent throughout the process and once a 
resolution has been reached.
