SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Application for the Review 
of Discharge or Dismissal from the Armed Forces of the United States; 
DD Form 293; OMB Control Number 0704-0004.
    Type of Request: Extension.
    Number of Respondents: 2,827.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 2,827.
    Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 1,413.5.
    Needs and Uses: Under Title 10 U.S.C. 1553 and DoD Directive 
1332.41, ``Boards for the Correction of Military Records and Discharge 
Review Board (DRBs),'' former service members who received an 
administrative discharge have the right to appeal the characterization 
or reason for separation provided they do so within 15 years from the 
date of separation. The DD Form 293, ``Application for Review of 
Discharge or Separation from the Armed Forces of the United States,'' 
is the form that allows former Service members to explain the reasons 
for the alleged error and designate legal counsel, and provides DRBs 
necessary information to process requests. This information collection 
is needed to provide Service members a method to present to their 
respective Military Department Discharge Review Boards their reason/
justification for a discharge upgrade, as well as providing the 
Military Departments with the basic data needed to process the appeal. 
The primary purpose of this information is to identify the arguments of 
the respondents and justifications for requested relief and secure 
their Official Military Personnel Files from the National Records 
Center. In addition, the collection allows the respondent to explain 
the reasons for the alleged error or injustice, designate counsel of 
choice, select the method of hearing desired, and request a records 
review or personal hearing.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
