DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department of Defense has submitted to OMB for clearance, the 
following proposal for collection of information under the provisions 
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Title, Associated Forms, and OMB Number: Department of Defense 
Medical Examination Review Board (DoDMERB) Medical Information 
Collection; DD Forms 2351, 2370, 2372, 2374, 2375, 2378, 2379, 2380, 
2381, 2382, 2383, 2480, 2489, and 2492; OMB Number 0704-[to be 
determined].
    Type of Request: New Collection.
    Number of Respondents: 19,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 19,900.
    Average Burden per Response: 60 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 19,000.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
to determine the medical qualification of applicants to the five 
Service academies, the Four Year Reserve Officer Training Corps 
Scholarship Program, Uniformed Services University of the Health 
Sciences, and the Army, Navy, and Air Force Scholarship Program. The 
completed forms are processed through medical reviewers representing 
their respective Services to determine a medical qualification status. 
Associated forms may or may not be required depending on the medical 
information contained in the examination. If the medical examination 
and necessary associated forms are not accomplished, individuals 
reviewing the medical qualification status cannot be readily assured of 
the medical status of the individual. Without this process the 
individual applying to any of these programs could not have the medical 
qualification determination essential to ensure compliance with the 
physical standards established for the respective military service 
program.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Frequency: On Occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Allison Eydt.
    Written comments and recommendations on the proposed information 
collection should be sent to Ms. Eydt at the Office of Management and 
Budget, Desk Officer for DoD Health Affairs, Room 10235, New Executive 
Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.
    DoD Clearance Officer: Mr. Robert Cushing.
    Written requests for copies of the information collection proposal 
should be sent to Mr. Cushing, WHS/DIOR, 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, 
Suite 1204, Arlington, VA 22202-4302.

    Dated: May 16, 1997.

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
