    Needs And Uses: Under 10 U.S.C. 1408, state courts may divide 
military retired pay as property or order alimony and child support 
payment from that retired pay. The former spouse may apply to the 
Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) for direct payment of 
these monies by using DD Form 2293. This information collection is 
needed to provide DFAS the basic data needed to process the request. 
The respondents of this information collection are spouses or former 
spouses of military members. The DD Form 2293 was devised to 
standardize applications for payment under 10 U.S.C. 1408. Information 
on the form is also used to determine the applicant's current status 
and contains statutory required certifications the applicant/former 
spouse must make when applying for payments.
    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.
