population-based health surveillance
activities. These surveillance activities
include the systematic collection,
analysis, interpretation, and reporting of
outcome-specific data for use in
planning, implementation, evaluation,
and prevention of suicide behaviors
within the Department of Defense. Data

self harm behaviors, and suicidal
ideation). All other DoD active and
reserve military personnel records
collected without evidence of reportable
suicide and self-harm behaviors will

integrated from enterprise systems and
created and revised by civilian and
military personnel in the performance of
their duties.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households.
Annual Burden Hours: 330.
Number of Respondents: 1975.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 10
minutes.
Frequency: As required by a
qualifying event.
Form completers are behavioral and
medical health providers, military unit
leadership or their designees. The
DoDSER form is used to collect
information regarding suicide events of
military service members. Form
completers collect information from
military personnel records, military
medical records, enterprise data systems
within the DoD and persons
(respondent) familiar with the event
details. Respondents include but are not
limited to family members, friends, unit
members, unit leadership and clergy
members. The DoDSER form data is
used to produce ad hoc reports for
services leadership and the DoDSER
Annual Report. The annual report is a
comprehensive on the data collected
which provides information for the DoD
suicide prevention effort.

Title of Collection: Program for
International Student Assessments
(PISA) Validation Study.
OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW.
Type of Review: A new collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals or households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 5,810.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 2,240.
Abstract: PISA (Program for
International Student Assessment OMB
#1850–0755) is an international
assessment of 15-year-olds designed to
evaluate, at the end of compulsory
education, how well students are
prepared for further education or entry
into the workforce and, more
fundamentally, to contribute to society
as functioning young adults. However,
PISA has been implemented as a crosssectional study and, thus, the claim that
PISA assesses key competencies for later
success has never been tested in the
United States. What is lacking is an
empirical linkage between PISA and
measures of successful transition from
high school to postsecondary education,
the workforce, or the types of skills
required for successful participation in
adult life. This Validation Study is
designed to provide this empirical
linkage. (A separate OMB number is
being requested for this clearance since
it is a separate study from the PISA
#1850–0755 collection.) Students in the
U.S. who participated in PISA in 2012
and supplied contact information will
be contacted in early 2013 and invited
to participate in the PISA Validation
Study. In 2015, when these students
will be 18 years old, they will be asked
to complete an online questionnaire and
assessment, based on those used in the
Program for the International
Assessment of Adult Competencies
(PIAAC), assessing their literacy,
numeracy, and problem-solving skills,
and asking them about their educational
attainment, education and work
experiences, skills used in daily life,
and aspects of health and well-being.
