whether the information shall have 

practical utility; the accuracy of the 

agency’s 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 through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

DATES: Consideration will be given to all 

comments received by November 21, 

2017. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by docket number and title,

Compliance, Regulatory and Advisory 

Committee Division, 4800 Mark Center

Alexandria, VA 22350–1700. 

Instructions: All submissions received 

must include the agency name, docket 

number and title for this Federal 

Register document. The general policy 

for comments and other submissions 

from members of the public is to make 

these submissions available for public 

viewing on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov as they are 

received without change, including any 

personal identifiers or contact 

information. 

Any associated form(s) for this 

collection may be located within this 

same electronic docket and downloaded 

for review/testing. Follow the 

instructions at http://

www.regulations.gov for submitting 

comments. Please submit comments on 

any given form identified by docket 

number, form number, and title. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To 

request more information on this 

proposed information collection or to 

obtain a copy of the proposal and 

associated collection instruments, 

please write to the Defense Finance and 

Accounting Services-CL, 1240 East 9th 

Street, Enterprise Solutions and 

Standards Code JJFJB, Cleveland, Ohio,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Dependency Statements; 

Parent (DD Form 137–3), Incapacitated 

Child Over Age 21 (DD Form 137–5), 

Full Time Student 21–22 Years of Age 

(DD 137–6), and Ward of a Court (DD 

Form 137–7); OMB Control Number 

0730–0014. 

Needs and Uses: The information 

collection requirement is necessary to 

certify dependency or obtain 

information to determine entitlement to 

basic allowance for housing (BAH) with 

dependent rate, travel allowance, or 

uniformed services identification and 

privilege card. Information regarding a 

parent, an incapacitated child over age 

21, a student age 21–22, or a ward of a 

court is provided by the military 

member. A medical doctor or 

psychiatrist, college administrator, or a 

dependent’s employer may need to 

provide information for claims. 

Pursuant to 37 U.S.C. 401, 403, 406, and 

10 U.S.C. 1072 and 1076, the member 

must provide more than one half of the 

claimed dependent’s monthly expenses. 

DoDFMR 7000.14–R, Vol 7A, defines 

dependency and directs that 

dependency be proven. Dependency 

claim examiners use the information 

from these forms to determine the 

degree of benefits. The requirement to 

provide the information decreased the 

possibility of monetary allowances 

being approved on behalf of ineligible 

dependents. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

Households. 

Annual Burden Hours: 13,477.5 

hours. 

Number of Respondents: 14,975. 

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 183 / Friday, September 22, 2017 / Notices 44395 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 14,975. 

Average Burden per Response: 54 

minutes. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

When military members apply for 

benefits, they must complete the form 

which corresponds to the particular 

dependent situation (a parent, an 

incapacitated child over age 21, a 

student age 21–22, or a ward of a court). 

While members usually complete these 

forms, they can also be completed by 

others considered members of the 

public. Dependency claim examiners 

use the information from these forms to 

determine the degree of benefits. 

Without this collection of information, 

proof of an entitlement to a benefit 

would not exist. The requirement to 

complete these forms helps alleviate the 

opportunity for fraud, waste, and abuse 

of dependent benefits.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title;

Building Healthy Military Communities 

(BHMC) Pilot Rapid Needs Assessment 

(RNA); OMB Control No. 0704–XXXX. 

Needs and Uses: The information 

collection requirement is necessary to 

establish a baseline assessment of 

readiness requirements and available 

resources to support these requirements 

at a state level, as well as to identify 

current gaps in resources for Service 

members across all components. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households, Business or other for profit; 

Not-for-profit institutions, State, local, 

or tribal government. 

Annual Burden Hours: 420 hours.

The Building Healthy Military 

Communities (BHMC) pilot is a multiyear initiative that aims to better 

understand unique challenges faced by 

geographically dispersed Service 

members and their families that may 

impact force readiness and well-being. 

The BHMC pilot is conducting a Rapid 

Needs Assessment (RNA) to establish a 

baseline assessment of readiness 

requirements and available resources to 

support these requirements at a state 

level, as well as to identify current gaps 

in resources for Service members across 

all components. The RNA is part of an 

effort to enrich the DoD’s methodology 

for creating a well-informed strategic 

plan aimed at optimizing force 

readiness and well-being through 

community capacity building and better 

coordination among DoD and non-DoD 

resources. To conduct this assessment, 

the Office of the Assistant Secretary of 

Defense for Readiness (OASD(R)), in 

collaboration with the National Guard 

Bureau (NGB), Uniformed Services 

University of the Health Sciences 

(USUHS), and the Services within the 

Reserve Component, will conduct 

interviews with program representatives 

at the federal, DoD, state, and local 

community level to gather qualitative 

data on their programs and services, the 

population(s) served by their programs, 

and the program manager’s observations 

on salient issues impacting the wellbeing of Service members and their 

families. The in-person interviews 

conducted during the RNA will give a 

unique perspective into all Services and 

components regarding gaps in available 

resources that impact readiness and 

well-being. The RNA is a one-time event 

expected to last from November 2017 to 

April 2018.
