SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authorization; OMB Control Number 0703-BLAS.
    Needs and Uses: Burial at Sea is a time honored tradition used as a 
mechanism to honor the service of a veteran. The Burial at Sea Request/
Authorization form allows a family member to request a burial at sea 
for a veteran, and lists the documentation required to enable the Navy 
to honor the request. This information is required, to ensure the 
person making the request is the legal person authorized to direct the 
disposition of the deceased.
    The Burial at Sea Port Checklist is used only when the requested 
remains are fully casketed. Certain preparation is required for these 
remains, to ensure adequate safeguarding during transportation, storage 
aboard the ship until the event, and to ensure the casket sinks during 
the ceremony. The funeral home responsible for the storage, preparation 
and delivery to the port uses the checklist to prepare and inspect the 
casketed remains prior to transport.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; Businesses or other 
for-profit.
