DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

[Docket No. DoD-2008-HA-0139]


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).

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by May 31, 
2012.
    Title and OMB Number: Active Duty Dental Program Claim Form; OMB 
Control Number 0720-TBD.
    Type of Request: New.
    Number of Respondents: 59,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 3.
    Annual Responses: 177,000.
    Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 14,750 hours.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
to obtain and record the dental readiness of Service Members using the 
Active Duty Dental Program and at the same time submit the claim for 
the dental procedures provided so that claims can be processed and 
reimbursement made to the provider. Many of these Service Members are 
not located near a military dental treatment facility and receive their 
dental care in the private sector. The new form is needed to update the 
dental readiness of all Service Members so that they can maintain 
worldwide deployment status and reduces paperwork by combining the 
dental claim and dental readiness into one form.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Mr. John Kraemer.
    Written comments and recommendations on the proposed information 
collection should be sent to Mr. Kraemer at the Office of Management 
and Budget, Desk Officer for DoD, Room 10236, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503.
