    The Department of Defense has submitted to OMB for clearance, the

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by November 
20, 2002.
    Title, form, and OMB number: Validation of Public or Community 
Service Employment Performed by Retired Personnel Retired Under the 
Temporary Early Retirement Authority (TERA) for Increased Retirement 
Compensation; DD Form 2676; OMB Number 0704-0357.
    Type of request: Revision.
    Number of respondents: 756.
    Responses pre respondent: 1.
    Annual responses: 756.
    Average burden per responses: 10 minutes.
    Annual burden hours: 126.
    Needs and Uses: This information collection requirement is 
necessary to validate the public service or community service of

until December 31, 2001, to permit early retirement for selected 
Service personnel with more than 15, but less than 20 years of service.

completion of at least 20 years of active duty service may take 
employment in public or community service, making them eligible for 
increased early retirement compensation. A retiree may receive service 
credit for all qualifying periods of employment by a registered public 
or community service organization during the ``enhanced requirement 
qualification period.'' This qualification period begins on the date of 
retirement and ends on the date the retired member would have attained 
20 years of creditable service for retirement purposes. This 
information collection is needed to provide certification of a member's 
full-time public and/or community service employment by a registered 
public or community service organization and to recomputed the member's 
retired pay for all qualifying periods of employment.
    Affected public: 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: Ms. Jackie Zieher.
    Written comments and recommendations on the proposed information 
collection should be sent to Ms. Zeiher at the Office of Management and

    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.
