SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Summary of Information Collection

    Respondents will be separated and retired Community College of the 
Air Force graduates. Approximately 2,000 Community College of the Air 
Force graduates will be surveyed biennially to determine the 
effectiveness of the institution and the usefulness of the Community 
College of the Air Force degree in the civilian sector. A notification 
letter will be mailed directly to respondents' home addresses inviting 
them to complete the Alumni Survey on the Community College of the Air 
Force's Internet homepage.
    The survey will take about 20 minutes to complete, and we expect to 
have about 400 responses. Survey results will be complied and evaluated 
at the Community College of the Air Force Administrative Center at 
Maxwell AFB, Alabama. While results will be used primarily in-house to 
make program improvements, findings may be publicized in the Air Force 
and civilian education communities.
