SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title, Associated Form and OMB Number: Overseas Citizen Population 
Survey; 0704-0539.
    Type of Request: Revision.
    Number of Respondents: 18,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 18,000.
    Average Burden per Response: 10 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 3,000 hours.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
for Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP), an agency of the 
Department of Defense, to fulfill the mandate of the Uniformed and 
Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA of 1986 [42 U.S.C. 
1973ff]). UOCAVA requires a statistical analysis report to the 
President and Congress on the effectiveness of assistance under the 
Act, a statistical analysis of voter participation, and a description 
of State/Federal cooperation. The data obtained through this study will 
allow FVAP to refine its methodology for estimating the number of 
overseas U.S. civilians who are eligible to vote and who have 
registered and participated in the past, and using these estimates to 
address the question of whether the registration and voting propensity 
of the overseas civilian population differs from that of a comparable 
domestic or military populations. Conducting this research will help 
FVAP meet its federal and congressional mandates in terms of reporting 
annually on its activities and on overall voter registration and 
participation rates after each Presidential election. The data obtained 
through this study is also intended to provide insights into existing 
barriers to UOCAVA voting and recommendations for addressing these 
challenges.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
