This information collection requirement is necessary to obtain and record the sex offender registration information of those sex offenders who live, work, or go to school on Army installations. Respondents are any convicted sex offenders required to register pursuant to any DoD, Army, State government, law, regulation, or policy where they are employed, reside, or are a student and live, work, or go to school on an Army installation. The information collected is used by Army law enforcement to ensure the sex offender is compliant with any court order restrictions.
US Code:
42 USC 16901 - 16928
Name of Law: The Jacob Wetterling, Megan Nicole Kanka, and Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA)
The burden has substantially decreased since the last OMB approval three years ago. The Army has significantly improved its background screening process, resulting in far fewer sex offenders living or working on Army installations.
