Needs and Uses: This information collection requirement is necessary for all Service personnel (current and former Service members) to apply to their respective Military Department Boards for Correction of Military Records (BCMR) for a correction of an error or injustice in their military records under Title 10, United States Code § 1552. The BCMRs of the Military Departments are the highest administrative boards and appellate review authorities in the Services for the resolution of military personnel disputes. The Military Department Secretaries, acting through the BCMRs, have broad powers and are duty bound to correct records if an error or injustice exists. The range of issues includes, but is not limited to, awards, clemency petitions (of courts-martial sentences), disabilities, evaluation reports, home of record, memoranda of reprimands, promotions, retirements, separations, survivor benefit plans, and titling decisions by law enforcement authorities. Information collection is needed to provide current and former Service members with a method through which to request correction of a military record and to provide the Services with the basic data needed to process the request.

Affected Public: Individuals or households.

Annual Burden Hours: 20,785. Number of Respondents: 41,570. Responses per Respondent: 1. Annual Responses: 41,570. Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.

Frequency: On occasion.
Under Title 10 United States Code Section 1552, Active Duty and Reserve Component Service members, Coast Guard, former Service members, their lawful or legal representatives, spouses of former Service members on issues of Survivor Benefit Program (SBP) benefits, and civilian employees with respect to military records other than those related to civilian employment, who feel that they have suffered an injustice as a result of error or injustice in military records may apply to their respective Boards for Correction of Military Records (BCMR) for a correction of their military records. These Boards are the highest level appellate review authority in the military. The Service member submits to the respective BCMR a DD Form 149, ‘‘Application for Correction of Military Record Under the Provisions of Title 10, U.S. Code Section 1552.’’ The DD Form 149 was devised to standardize applications to the BCMRs. This information is used to identify and secure the appropriate official military and medical records from the appropriate records storage facilities. Information on the form is used by the Military Department BCMRs to identify the issues and arguments raised by applicants, identify any counsel representing applicants, and determine if the applicants filed their petitions within the three-year statute of limitations established by Congress. Disclosure is voluntary; however, failure to provide requested information may result in a denial of an application. An applicant’s Social Security Number is used to retrieve these records and links to the member’s official military personnel file and pay record.
