Respondents are contractors, retirees, AF applicants for

certified EO Specialist/Counselor/Advisor. The information is then
utilized for case management, recordkeeping, tracking, quarterly and
annual statistical reporting. The information is requested once the
respondent contacts (via phone, email, office, mail correspondence) the
EO office and then is transferred into the AF EO IT System for further
processing. All information provided becomes a part of the respondent's
case file. Generally, the information is collected once; however, on
occasion, the same respondent may file multiple complaints. Although
the information requested is voluntary, not providing the information
may delay case processing or cause case file not to be processed at
all. Additionally, these records and/or information in these records
may be used to report records as required by the FY 98 National Defense
Authorization Act, and utilized as a data source for descriptive
statistics; to provide information to a congressional office from the
record of an individual in response to an inquiry from that
congressional office made at the request of that individual; or for
disclosure to an authorized formal complaints auditor, administrative
judge, equal employment opportunity investigator, arbitrator or other
authorized official(s) involved in the investigation or settlement of a
formal complaint or appeal.
