SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: TRICARE Young Adult 
Application; DD Form 2947; OMB Control Number 0720-0049.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement.
    Number of Respondents: 7,164.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 7,164.
    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 1,791.
    Needs and Uses: The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2011, section 702, aligns TRICARE Program eligibility by providing 
a means to extend the age of eligibility of TRICARE dependents from age 
21 or 23 up to age 26 to allow the purchase of extended dependent 
medical coverage across existing TRICARE program options (Select and 
Prime). This is consistent with the intent of the Patient Protection 
and Affordable Care Act, the implementing Health and Human Services 
regulations, and the limitations of chapter 55 of title 10. Section 702 
allows qualified adult children not eligible for medical coverage at 
age 21 (23 if enrolled in a full-time course of study at an institution 
of higher learning approved by the Secretary of Defense) and under age 
26 to qualify to purchase medical coverage unless the dependent is 
enrolled in or eligible to purchase employer sponsored insurance per 
section 5000A(f)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or is married. 
The dependents shall be able to purchase either the TRICARE Prime or 
Select benefits depending on if they meet specific program requirements 
and the availability of a desired plan in their geographic location.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: As required.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    DoD Clearance Officer: Mr. Reginald Lucas.
