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, Forms, and OMB Number: Dependency Statements--Parent, Child 
Born Out of Wedlock, Incapacitated Child Over Age 21, Full Time Student 
21-22 Years of Age, and Ward of a Court; DD Forms 137-3, 137-4, 137-5, 
137-6, 137-7; OMB Number 0730-[To Be Determined].
    Type of Request: New Collection.
    Number of Respondents: 19,440.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 19,440.
    Average Burden per Response: 1.25 hours.
    Annual Burden Hours: 24,300.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
to certify dependency or obtain information to determine entitlement to 
basic allowance for housing (BAH) with dependent rate, travel 
allowance, or Uniformed Services Identification and Privilege Card. 
Information regarding a parent, a child born out-of-wedlock, an 
incapacitated child over age 21, a student 21-22, or a ward of a court 
is provided by the military member or by another individual who may be 
a member of the public. Pursuant to 37 U.S.C. 401, 403, 406, and 10 
U.S.C. 1072 and 1076, the member must provide at least one-half of the 
claimed child's monthly expenses. DoDFMR 7000.14, Vol. 7A, defines 
dependency and directs that dependency be proven. Dependency claim 
examiners use the information from these 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.
    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.
