FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on this

Command, ATTN: ATCC-O1, 55 Patch Road, Building 56, Fort Monroe, VA

Title, Associated Form and OMB Number: Army ROTC Referral
Information, ROTC Form 155-R, OMB Control Number 0702-0111.
Needs and Uses: The Army ROTC Program produces approximately 75
percent of the newly commissioned officers for the U.S. Army. The Army
ROTC must have the ability to attract quality men and women who will
pursue college degrees. Currently, there are 13 recruiting teams
(Goldminers) located in various places across the United States aiding
in this cause. Their mission is to refer quality high school students
to colleges and universities offering Army ROTC. Goldminers, two
officer personnel, will collect ROTC Referral information at a high
school campus and document it on ROTC Cadet Command Form 155-R.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 4,075.
Number of Respondents: 16,300.
Responses Per Respondent: 1.
Average Burden Per Response: 15 minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of Information Collection
The purpose of the information is to provide prospect referral data
to a Professor of Military Science to contact individuals who have
expressed an interest in Army ROTC. If Goldminers did not collect
referral information, we would suffer a negative impact on the
recruiting effort and subsequent commissioning of new officers for the
U.S. Army.
