The collection is necessary to enable the All-domain AARO, Office of

The new form will collect contact information from the general
public to report to AARO. The collection is necessary to enable persons
wanting to make a report to AARO directly.
The AARO Form for Public Reporting also supports Section 1683 of
the FY23 NDAA. The PII provided on the AARO Form for Public Reporting
enables AARO to contact respondents if deemed necessary.
The respondents are members of the public who want to contact AARO
in furtherance of providing reporting regarding potential activities
and events related to UAP. The respondents will be asked to voluntarily
provide their contact information by completing fields and using drop
down menus on a PDF form available through AARO's website
(<a href="http://www.aaro.mil">www.aaro.mil</a>). The PII contact information will only include full name
and email or phone number. This form is 100 percent electronic and will
be available for download on AARO's website (<a href="http://www.aaro.mil">www.aaro.mil</a>) by any web
browser, via both desktop and mobile device. The collection is sent to
AARO when the respondent emails the completed form to AARO. No other
communications are sent to the respondents that solicit responses. The
