    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
to collect irradiation scenario information from nuclear test 
participants to perform their radiation dose assessment. The DTRA 
radiation dose assessments are provided to the Department of Veterans 
Affairs in support of veteran radiogenic disease compensation claims. 
This information may also be used in approved veteran epidemiology 
studies that study the health impact of nuclear tests on U.S. veterans.
    Affected Public: Veterans and civilian test participants, and their 
representatives who are filing radiogenic disease compensation claims 
with the Department of Veterans Affairs or Department of Justice and 
require information from the Department of Defense.
    Annual Burden Hours: 463.
    Number of Respondents: 370.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Average Burden per Response: 75 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Veterans and their representatives routinely contact DTRA (by phone 
and mail) to request information regarding participation in U.S. 
atmospheric nuclear testing. A release form is required to certify the 
identity of the requester and authorize the release of Privacy Act 
information (to the veteran or a 3rd party). DTRA is also required to 
collect irradiation scenario information from nuclear test participants 
to accurately determine their radiation dose assessment.
