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, DoW Schoolhouses, Regional Centers, and International Host 
Nation Organizations. The Security Cooperation Training Management 
System (SC-TMS) 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.
    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 DoW (civilian, military or contractor) 
members through Common Access Card 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) DoW systems; however, majority of IMS data is input 
directly into SCTMS by the SCO. Using the 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.

    Dated: October 16, 2026.

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
