    Needs and Uses: The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting 
Act (UOCAVA), 52 United States Code, Section 203, requires the 
Presidential designee (Secretary of Defense) to prescribe an official 
form containing an absentee voter registration and ballot request 
application for use by the States to permit absent uniformed services 
voters and overseas voters to participate in general, special, primary 
and runoff elections for Federal office. The authority for the States 
to collect personal information comes from UOCAVA. The burden for 
collecting this information resides in the States. The Federal 
government neither collects nor retains any personal information 
associated with this form.
    The collected information will be used by State and local election 
officials to process uniformed service members, spouses and overseas 
citizens who submit their information to register to vote or receive an 
absentee ballot. The collected information will be retained by election 
officials to provide election materials, including absentee ballots, to 
the uniformed services, their eligible family members and overseas 
voters during the form's eligibility period provided by State law. No 
information from the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) is collected 
or retained by the Federal government. The FPCA is completed in 
hardcopy or via the Federal Voting Assistance Program's (FVAP) online 
assistant (fvap.gov), and then submitted by the voter to an Election 
Official through mail, email, or fax (depending on State instructions). 
Per the law, FVAP regularly reaches out to UOCAVA citizens to raise 
awareness of its voting assistance services, primarily via its website, 
FVAP.gov.
    Affected Public: Individuals and/or households.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
