Summary of Information Collection

    Respondents are Air Force retired members and certain Reserve 
members who have gained jobs with a foreign government and who must 
obtain approval of the Secretary of the Air Force and Secretary of 
State to do so. Information, in the form of a letter, includes a 
detailed description of duty, name of employer, Social Security Number, 
and statements specifying whether or not the employee will be 
compensated; declaring if employee will be required or plans to obtain 
foreign citizenship; declaring that the member will not be required to 
execute an oath of allegiance to the foreign government; verifying that 
the member understands that retired pay equivalent to the amount 
received from the foreign government may be withheld if he or she 
accepts employment with a foreign government before receiving approval. 
Reserve members only must include a request to be reassigned to 
Inactive Status List Reserve Section (Reserve Section Code RB). After 
verifying the status of the individual, the letter is forwarded to the 
Air Force Review Board for processing. If the signed letter is not 
included in the file, individuals reviewing the file cannot furnish the 
necessary information to the Secretary of the Air Force and Secretary 
of State on which a decision can be made. Requested information is 
necessary to maintain the integrity of the Request for Approval of 
Foreign Government Employment Program.
