SUMMARY: In compliance with section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork

collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of DoD, including whether the information will have 
practical utility; the accuracy of the estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize 
the burden of the information collection on respondents, including the 
use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved this 
information collection for use through May 31, 2022. DoD proposes that 
OMB extend its approval for use for three additional years beyond the 
current expiration date.
