SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Security Assistance
Network; OMB Control Number 0704-0555.
Needs and Uses: The Security Assistance Network (SAN) is a web-
based database used to exchange Security Cooperation training
information between overseas Security Cooperation Offices, Geographical
Combatant Commands, Military Departments, Defense Security Cooperation
Agency, DoD Schoolhouses, Regional Centers, and International Host
Nation Organizations. The Security Cooperation Training Management
System is a tool used by the Security Cooperation community to manage
International Military Student training data.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 10,995.
Number of Respondents: 43,980.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
[[Page 40791]]
Annual Responses: 43,980.
Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
The International Military Student Information (IMSI) that is
collected on the SAN is used by the International Military Student
Officer (IMSO) assigned to each training installation to prepare for
the arrival and stay in the U.S. of the international training student.
The collection of this information, in addition to the above, is for
the issuance of invitational travel orders, student screening purposes,
and to determine the student's likes and dislikes; his/her recreation
activities; dietary restrictions; etc.
The Security Cooperation Organization/Officer (SCO) collects the
biographical data from International Military Students (IMS) to
populate data tables in the SC-TMS. SCOs collect this information over
the phone and/or in person. SCOs may access the system via username and
password or if they are active DoD (civilian, military or contractor)
members through CAC and pin. Data may also be collected from automated
uploads from the Regional Center Persons Activity Management System
(RCPAMS) and Defense Security Assistance Management System (DSAMS) DoD
systems, however majority of IMS data is input directly into SCTMS by
the SCO. Using the Security Cooperation-Training Management System (SC-
TMS) that is hosted on the Security Assistance Network (SANWeb), the
SCO enters the collected biographical data.
The IMS trains at United States Military schoolhouses. The IMSO at
the schoolhouse/training activity logs onto SC-TMS to view the IMSI
data and uses it to support the IMS while during their arrival and stay
for training.
