    Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: CCAF Alumni Survey, OMB 
Number 0701-0138.

    Needs and Uses: The information collection is necessary to 
determine how effectively the institution is meeting its mission and 
also identify areas needing improvement. Survey results will provide 
data on the usefulness and acceptance of the CCAF degree in the 
civilian sector. Documenting the institution's effectiveness is also 
required to maintain CCAF's regional accreditation.
    Affected Public: Separated and retired CCAF graduates.
    Annual Burden Hours: 167.
    Number of Respondents: 500.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Average Burden per Response: 20 minutes.
    Frequency: Biennial.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: None.

Summary of Information Collection

    Respondents will be separated and retired CCAF graduates. 
Approximately 1,000 CCAF graduates will be surveyed biennially to 
determine the effectiveness of the institution and the usefulness of 
the CCAF degree in the civilian sector. A 30-question survey instrument 
will be mailed directly to respondents' home addresses and will require 
about 20 minutes to complete using a scannable answer form and a tear-
off comment sheet. A stamped and addressed return envelope will be 
provided. Respondents will have the option of completing the survey on 
CCAF's Internet homepage instead of returning the hardcopy survey form. 
Survey results will be compiled and evaluated at the CCAF 
Administrative Center at Maxwell Air Force Base, 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.
