Letter of Intent for Personal Property Household Goods and 
Unaccompanied Baggage Shipments; DD Form 619 and DD Form 619-1; 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 it 
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: 167.5556.
    Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Summary of Information Collection

    The Tender of Service is the contractual agreement between DoD and 
the carrier, under which the carrier agrees to provide services 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.
