needed to: (1) Complete his/her enrollment into the TRICARE Select 
health plan option, (2) dis-enroll a beneficiary, or (3) change a 
beneficiary's enrollment information (e.g., address, add a dependent, 
report other health insurance). This information is required to ensure 
the beneficiary's TRICARE benefits and claims are administered based on 
their TRICARE plan of choice. Without this new enrollment form, each 
non-active-duty TRICARE beneficiary is automatically defaulted into 
direct care, limiting their health care options to beneficiaries would 
have no TRICARE coverage when using the TRICARE network of providers 
for services not available at their local military hospital or clinic.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Mr. Matt Eliseo.
