SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Request for Armed Forces
Participation in Public Events (Non-Aviation), DD Form 2536 and Request
for Military Aerial Support, DD Form 2535; OMB Control Number 0704-
0290.
Needs and Uses: This information collection requirement is
necessary to evaluate the eligibility of events to receive Armed Forces
community relations support and to determine whether requested military
assets are available.
Affected Public: State, local, or tribal governments; Federal
agencies or employees; for-profit and non-profit institutions; and
individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 17,850.
Number of Respondents: 51,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 21 minutes.
Frequency: On Occasion.
Respondents are individuals or representatives of Federal and non-
Federal government agencies, community groups, for-profit and non-
profit organizations, and civic organizations requesting Armed Forces
support for patriotic events conducted in the civilian domain. DD Forms
2535 and 2536 record the type of military support requested, event
data, and sponsoring organization information. The completed forms
provide the Armed Forces the minimum information necessary to determine
whether an event is eligible for military participation and whether the
desired support is permissible and/or available. If the forms are not
provided, the review process is greatly increased because the Armed
Forces must make additional written and telephonic inquiries with the
event sponsor. In addition, use of the forms reduces the event
sponsor's preparation time because the forms provide a detailed outline
of information required, eliminate the need for a detailed letter, and
contain concise information necessary for determining appropriateness
of military support. Use of the forms is essential to reduce
preparation and processing time, increase productivity, and maximize
responsiveness to the public.
