SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection

    Respondents are members of non-profit organizations wanting to use 
the military in their promotional and/or fund raising material. 
Respondents may also be marketing and advertising professionals who 
provide military or patriotic-themed exhibits, promotional material, 
web page designs, and advertisements for their business clients and 
require DoD approval for use of military imagery as part of their 
standard operating procedure. The completed form allows the respondents 
to acknowledge and comply with the DoD guidelines for granting military 
image use approval in their products. The completed form is included 
with the final mock-up of the proposed commercial use product and 
serves as notification that the respondent has complied with the DoD 
guidelines. If the form is not submitted or is incomplete, individuals 
reviewing the military imagery in the proposed commercial use product 
must contact the respondent and convey the requested changes in order 
to obtain DoD approval. Having the marketing, advertising, and non-
profit organization professionals complete the form will educate the 
community of respondents about DoD guidelines, reduce the response time 
to their requests, and increase efficiency for those reviewing the 
requests.
