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, Form Number, and OMB Number: Armed Forces Participation in 
Public Events; DD Forms 2535 and 2536; OMB Number 0704-0290.
    Type of Request: Extension.
    Number of Respondents: 43,000.
    Responses Per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 43,000.
    Average Burden Per Response: 8 minutes (average).
    Annual Burden Hours: 5,547.
    Needs and Uses: The 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. Respondents are individuals or representatives of 
Federal and non-Federal government agencies, community groups, non-
profit organizations, and civil 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.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; business or other for-
profit; not-for-profit institutions; State, Local, or Tribal 
Government.
    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.
