Information; Department of the Army Form 190-45-SG (Army Law

    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
to obtain and record the sex offender registration information of those 
sex offenders who live, work or go to school on Army installations. 
Respondents are any convicted sex offender required to register 
pursuant to any DoD, Army, State government, law, regulation, or policy 
where they are employed, reside, or are a student and live, work, or go 
to school on an Army installation. The information collected is used by 
Army law enforcement to ensure the sex offender is compliant with any 
court order restrictions.
    Affected Public: Business or other for profit; Not-for-profit 
institutions and Individuals and Households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 40.
    Number of Respondents: 120.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 120.
    Average Burden per Response: 20 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondents are sex offenders required to register with the state

ensure the sex offender is compliant with any specific court ordered 
restrictions on Army installations. Data from members

[[Page 42794]]

of the public is collected only by Army law enforcement authorized 
personnel. The frequency of sex offender registration with the Provost 
Marshal Office (PMO) is not under the control of any Army law 
enforcement personnel, it is the responsibility of the sex offender who 
lives or works on the Army installations to follow Army policy and 
report to the PMO within 3 working days of assignment to the 
installation. Sex offenders could live or work on an Army installation 
and live in government housing near schools or daycare without Army law 
enforcement's knowledge. Army law enforcement would be less able to 
complete its mission to provide security and law enforcement to 
safeguard personnel living and working on Army installations.
