SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This is a request for a new information collection.
This collection of information is needed to obtain information from
the respondents who request meetings or appearances with Senior
Officials or those who register to participate in DOC events, and
conferences. The information is collected by the DOC employees who host
the conferences and events, and those who manage calendars for Senior
personnel. DOC is collecting common elements from interested
respondents such as name, organization, address, country, phone number,
email address, state, city or town, special accommodations requests and
how the respondent learned of the event or conference. The information
collection element may also include race, ethnicity, gender and veteran
status, and other relevant information. The information is primarily
used to assess attendance and assist DOC staff in preparations to serve
individuals registering for online or in person events. If applicable,
the information collection may be used to collect payment from the
respondents and make hotel reservations and other special arrangements
as necessary. Race, ethnicity, gender, and other demographic
information obtained through registration is voluntary, and is used to
monitor DOC's outreach and engagement of equity and support for
underserved communities. This information is not used to evaluate any
DOC program application and choosing not to provide this information
will not affect the application process for any individual applying to
a DOC program.
