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).

[[Page 58371]]

    Title, associated form, and OMB number: Request for Verification of 
Birth; DD Form 372; OMB Number 0704-0006.
    Type of request: Reinstatement.
    Number of respondents: 100,000.
    Respones per respondent: 1.
    Annual responses: 100,000.
    Average burden per response: 5 minutes (0.083 hours).
    Annual burden hours: 8,300.
    Needs and uses: Title 10, U.S.C. 505, 3253, 5013, and 8253, require 
applicants meet minimum and maximum age and citizenship requirements 
for enlistment into the Armed Forces (including the Coast Guard). If an 
applicant is unable to provide a birth certificate, the recruiter will 
forward a DD Form 372, ``Request for Verification of Birth,'' to a 
State or local agency requesting verification of the applicant's birth 
date. This verification of birth ensures that the applicant does not 
fall outside the age limitations, and that the applicant's place of 
birth supports the citizenship status claimed by the applicant.
    Affected public: State, local or tribal governments.
    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.
    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: October 26, 1998.
