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: Medical Screening of Military 
Personnel; DD Forms 2807-1, 2807-2; OMB Number 0704-[To Be Determined].
    Type of Request: New Collection.
    Number of Respondents: 850,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 850,000.
    Average Burden per Response: 9.6 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 135,833.
    Needs and Uses: Title 10 USC 504, 505, 507, 532, 978, 1201, 1202, 
and 4346, require military applicants to meet medical accession 
standards for enlistment, induction, and appointment to the Armed 
Forces. This information collection is the basis for determining 
medical eligibility of applicants based upon their current and past 
medical history. The General Accounting Office report, ``Military 
Attrition--DoD Could Save Millions by Better Screening Enlisted 
Personnel,'' dated January 1997, instructed the Department of Defense 
to develop a better method for medically screening military applicants. 
As a result, the DD Form 2807-1, ``Report of Medical History'' and the 
DD Form 2807-2, ``Medical Prescreen of Medical History Report,'' will 
be the forms used to collect the necessary data needed from the 
military applicants to elicit a more accurate picture of their well 
being and medical history. The information obtained on the DD Form 
2807-2 will also identify any medical disqualifying condition(s) prior 
to the application process and meets the Congressional requirements to 
obtain the applicant's health care provider and insurance provider.
    Affected Public Individuals or Households; Not-For-Profit 
Institutions.
    Frequency: On Occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    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: May 22, 2000.
Patricia L. Toppings,
Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
