SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Request for Individual 
Access and Consent for Disclosure to Records Protected Under the 
Privacy Act; DD Forms 3213 and 3214; OMB Control Number 0704-CASE.
    Type of Request: New.
    Number of Respondents: 30,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 30,000.
    Average Burden per Response: 45 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 22,500.
    Needs and Uses: This information collection requirement is 
necessary to allow an individual to request access to their records or 
to provide prior written consent authorizing disclosure of such 
records. The Creating Advanced Streamlined Electronic Services for 
Constituents Act of 2019 (CASES Act) was enacted to modernize and 
simplify the process by which individuals can request access to and 
consent to the disclosure of their personal records held by Federal 
agencies. This Act addresses the inefficiencies and inconsistencies 
that previously existed in obtaining written consent for information 
disclosure. Under the Privacy Act of 1974, individuals have the right 
to access their records and control the disclosure of their personal 
information. However, the traditional process of obtaining written 
consent was often cumbersome, requiring physical signatures and manual 
transmission of forms. This not only delayed the resolution of 
constituent inquiries but also created variability in how different 
Components within DoD handled these requests. The CASES Act mandates 
the use of electronic access and consent forms, which can be submitted 
digitally. By allowing digital submissions, the Act aims to streamline 
the process, reduce delays, and enhance the efficiency of government 
services.
    Affected Public: Current and former DoD employees and their 
authorized dependents.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    DOD Clearance Officer: Mr. Reginald Lucas.

    Dated: December 18, 2024.

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
