DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request

ACTION: Notice.

The Department of Defense has

submitted to OMB for clearance, the

following proposal for collection of

information under the provisions of the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

Chapter 35).

Title, Form Number, and OMB

Number: Armed Forces Participation in

Public Events; DD Forms 2535 and

2536; OMB Number 0704–0290.

Type of Request: Extension.

Number of Respondents: 43,000.

Responses Per Respondent: 1.

Annual Responses: 43,000.

Average Burden Per Response: 8

minutes (average).

Annual Burden Hours: 5,547.

Needs and Uses: The information

collection requirement is necessary to

evaluate the eligibility of events to

receive Armed Forces community

relations support and to determine

whether requested military assets are

available. Respondents are individuals

or representatives of Federal and nonFederal government agencies,

community groups, non-profit

organizations, and civil organizations

requesting Armed Forces support for

patriotic events conducted in the

civilian domain. DD Forms 2535 and

2536 record the type of military support

requested, event data, and sponsoring

organization information. The

completed forms provide the Armed

Forces the minimum information

necessary to determine whether an

event is eligible for military

participation and whether the desired

support is permissible and/or available.

If the forms are not provided, the review

process is greatly increased because the

Armed Forces must make additional

written and telephonic inquiries with

the event sponsor. In addition, use of

the forms reduces the event sponsor’s

preparation time because the forms

provide a detailed outline of

information required, eliminate the

need for a detailed letter, and contain

concise information necessary for

determining appropriateness of military

support. Use of the forms is essential to

reduce preparation and processing time,

increase productivity, and maximize

responsiveness to the public.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households; business or other for-profit;

not-for-profit institutions; State, Local,

or Tribal Government.

Frequency: On occasion.

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to

obtain or retain benefits.
