SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: USMC Dependency Statement 
Child Born Out of Wedlock Under Age 21, NAVMC 1750-13; OMB Control 
Number 0712-0010.
    Needs and Uses: The information collected will be used to support 
Installation/Command level and MFP-1 dependency determinations and 
basic allowance housing (BAH) entitlement decisions for children under 
the age of 21 born out of wedlock to non-service member guardians not 
residing in the service member's household. Respondents are made aware 
of this collection through MCO 1751.3 Ch1 and their Installation 
Personnel Administration Center (IPAC). The respondents can obtain a 
copy of the Navy/Marine Corps (NAVMC) 1750/13 through the NAVMC forms 
website (https://forms.documentservices.dla.mil/order/) or from their 
IPAC via email. IPAC contact information for respondents to seek 
assistance with obtaining, completing, or submitting the NAVMC 1750/13 
is outlined in their IPAC's Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). A 
sample of the IPAC SOP is attached to this package.
    The service member requesting the BAH entitlement completes 
sections 1 and 2 on the digitally fillable NAVMC 1750/13 and signs the 
form. The non-service member guardian of the claimed dependent 
completes sections 3-12 on the NAVMC 1750/13, prints the document, 
signs in the presence of a Notary Public, and has the form notarized to 
officially confirm their responses. The minors themselves are not 
authorized respondents. Respondents submit their completed and 
notarized NAVMC 1750/13, along with any appropriate supporting 
documentation related to their individual responses, via email or in 
person to their IPAC personnel officer as directed by their IPAC's SOP. 
Cases are typically adjudicated by the IPAC personnel officer at the 
Installation/Command level and the approval decision for BAH 
entitlement is communicated to the respondent telephonically. The IPAC 
personnel officer elevates cases that can't be resolved at the 
Installation/Command level to MFP-1 at [email protected]. MFP-1 will then 
make a final determination based on the provided documentation and 
reply to the IPAC personnel officer, who telephonically notifies the 
respondent of the result of the dependency determination/BAH 
entitlement decision.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 25.
    Number of Respondents: 20.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 20.
    Average Burden per Response: 75 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    The NAVMC Form 1750/13, ``USMC Dependency Statement Child Born Out 
of Wedlock Under Age 21'' is needed to assist USMC Installation command 
representatives and the Marine and Family Programs Division, Defense 
Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System/Dependency Determination 
Section (MFP-1) in properly making informed BAH entitlement 
determinations for claimed children under the age of 21 born out of 
wedlock to non-service member partners and who do not reside within the 
household of the service member. The collection provides formal 
documentation and respondent attestation of overall financial support 
case facts, which is a particularly critical piece of documentation in 
cases where the legitimacy of primary dependency status or service 
member BAH entitlement claim is deemed questionable to the USMC.
    The NAVMC 1750/13 is distributed and collected via email, and 
respondents' complete sections 1-12 electronically on the fillable PDF. 
The collection cannot be conducted 100% electronically, as signatures 
required in section 13 must be done on a printed

hard copy with a Notary Public present to certify the legitimacy of the 
provided information.
