SUMMARY: In compliance with section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35), DoD announces the
intention to request reinstatement of a previously approved information
collection from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), for which
approval has expired. DoD seeks public comment on the provisions of the
information collection requirement. Specifically, DoD invites comments
on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of DoD, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection; (c) ways
to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the information
collection on respondents, including the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) previously approved this information
collection requirement for use through February 29, 2012. DoD proposes
that OMB reinstate and renew its approval for use for three additional
years from date of approval.
DATES: DoD will consider all comments received by July 28, 2014.
