SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Statement of Personal 
Injury: Possible Third Party Liability; DD Form 2527; OMB Control 
Number 0720-0003.
    Type of Request: Extension.
    Number of Respondents: 188,090.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 188,090.
    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 47,022.5.
    Needs and Uses: When a claim for TRICARE benefits is identified as 
involving possible third party liability and the information is not 
submitted with the claim, the TRICARE contractors request that the 
injured party (or a designee) complete DD Form 2527. To protect the 
interests of the U.S. Government, the contractor suspends claims 
processing until the requested third party liability information is 
received. The contractor conducts a preliminary evaluation based upon 
the collection of information and refers the case to a designated 
appropriate legal officer of the Uniformed Services. The responsible 
Uniformed Services legal officer uses the information as a basis for 
asserting and settling the U.S. Government's claim. When appropriate, 
the information is forwarded to the Department of Justice as the basis 
for litigation.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Julie Wise.
