*Annual Responses:*                         72,905.                    

*Average Burden per Response:*                         18.367 minutes (average).                    

*Annual Burden Hours:*                         22,317 hours.                    

*Needs and Uses:*                         This information is collected in accordance with the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Pub. L. 106-398), section 723(b)(E)). These collection instruments serve as applications for the Enrollment, Primary Care Manager (PCM) Change and Disenrollment for the Department of Defense's TRICARE Prime program established in accordance with title 10 U.S.C. 1099 (which calls for a healthcare enrollment system). Monthly payment options for retiree enrollment fees for TRICARE Prime are established in accordance with title 10 U.S.C. 1097a(c). The information collected on the TRICARE Prime Enrollment Application/PCM Change Form provides the necessary data to determine beneficiary eligibility, to identify the selection of a health care option, and to change the designated PCM when the beneficiary is relocating or merely requests a local PCM change. The information collected on the TRICARE Prime Disenrollment Form provides the necessary data to disenroll a beneficiary from TRICARE Prime. The Disenrollment Application is needed to implement disenrollment from TRICARE Prime, TRICARE Prime Remote or the Uniformed Services Family Health Plan as requested by the enrollee. Failure to provide information will result in continued enrollment and beneficiaries' responsibility for payment of an enrollment fee.                    

*Affected Public:*                         Individuals or households.
