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 Form, and OMB Number: Dependency Statements; 
DFAS-DE Form 1865, 1866 1867, and 1868; OMB Number 0730-[to be 
determined].

[[Page 60692]]

    Type of Request: New Collection;
    Number of Respondents: 4,200.
    Responses Per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Response: 4,200.
    Average Burden Per Response: 2 hours.
    Annual Burden Hours: 8,400.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection is used to certify 
dependency or obtain information to determine entitlement to basic 
allowance for quarters (BAQ) with-dependent rate, travel allowances, or 
Uniformed Services Identification and Privilege Card. Information 
regarding a child born out-of-wedlock (DFAS-DE Form 1865), a full-time 
student 21-22 years of age (DFAS-DE Form 1867), a parent (DFAS-DE Form 
1868), or incapacitated child over age 21 (DFAS-DE Form 1866), is 
provided by the military member or by another individual who may be a 
member of the public. DoDFMR 7000.14, Vol. 17A, defines dependency and 
directs that dependency be proven. Dependency claim examiners use the 
information from the forms to determine the degree of benefits. The 
requirement to provide the information decreases the possibility of 
monetary allowances being approved on behalf of ineligible dependents.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: On occasion; annually.
    Respondents'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.
    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: November 5, 1997.
Patricia L. Toppings,
Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
