DoD Information Collections

 

 

DoD Internal Collections Overview

All DoD internal information collections must be licensed with a Report Control Symbol (RCS). A responding component should not participate in or respond to an internal information collection request that does not have an Active RCS.

  • Report Control Symbols with 4 Letters at the end are not yet approved. An RCS will receive a 4 digit serial number only once it has been approved by OIM.
  • Report Control Symbols are normally valid for five (5) years, or three (3) years if linked to a Public Collection.
