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 and Associated Form: Personal Check Cashing Agreement, DD 
Form X312, OMB Number 0730--[To Be Determined].

    Annual Responses: 450,000.
    Average Burden Per Response: 30 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 225,000.
    Needs and Uses: This collection of information is necessary to meet 
the Department of Defense's (DoD) requirement for cashing personal 
checks overseas and afloat by DoD disbursing activities, as provided in 
31 U.S.C. 3342. The DoD Financial Management Regulation, Volume 5, 
allows the DoD disbursing officer or authorized agent the authority to 
offset the pay. The Personal Check Cashing Agreement Form is designed 
exclusively to help the DoD disbursing offices expedite the collection 
process of dishonored checks. The front of the form will be completed 
and signed by the authorized individual requesting check cashing 
privileges. By signing the form, the individual consents to the 
immediate collection from their current pay, without prior notice, for 
the face value of any check cashed, plus any charges assessed against 
the government by a financial institution, in the event the check is 
dishonored. In the event the check is dishonored, the disbursing office 
will complete and certify the reverse side of the form and forward the 
form to the applicable payroll office for collection from the 
individual's pay.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Frequency: On Occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to Obtain or Retain Benefits.
    OMB Desk Officer: Mr. Edward C. Springer.
    Written comments and recommendations on the proposed information 
collection should be sent to Mr. Springer at the Office of Management 
and Budget, Desk Officer for DoD, Room 10236, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503.
