Needs and Uses: This information

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.

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.
