FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on this 
proposed information collection or to obtain a copy of the proposal and 
associated collection instruments, please write to the above address, 
or call Department of the Army Reports Clearance Officer at (703) 325-

    Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: Tender of Service and 
Letter of Intent for Personal Property Household Goods and 
Unaccompanied Baggage Shipments, DD Form 619, OMB Control Number 0702-
0022.
    Needs and Uses: Since household goods (HHG) move at Government 
expense, data is needed to choose the best service at lowest cost to 
the Government. The information provided by the carrier serves as a bid 
for contract to transport HHG, unaccompanied baggage, mobile homes, and 
boats. This information is collected on a regular basis, but is 
submitted intermittently throughout the year. Best-service-for-least-
cost carrier receives the contract. DD Form 619 certifies that 
accessorial services were actually performed. The Government would not 
know which carriers to use for shipping personal property if they could 
not collect this information.
    Affected Public: Business Or Other For-Profit.
    Annual Burden Hours: 70,548.
    Number of Respondents: 2,636.
    Responses per Respondent: 441,677.
    Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Tender of Service is the contractual 
agreement between DOD and the carrier, under which the carrier agrees 
to provide service in accordance with the terms and conditions cited in 
the Tender of Service. In accordance with the provisions of DOD 4500.9-
R, the DD Form 619 is used by the household goods carrier industry to 
itemize packing material and other charges for billing purposes on 
household goods and unaccompanied baggage shipments.
