DoD Submission to OMB for Information Collection Clearance Under Paperwork Reduction Act
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has submitted a proposal to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) seeking clearance to collect information from the public under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). This is a standard federal regulatory step requiring executive agencies to obtain OMB approval before imposing new information collection burdens on individuals, businesses, or other entities. The notice invites public comment on the proposed information collection, as required by PRA procedures. Members of the public, affected organizations, and other stakeholders have an opportunity to submit feedback regarding the necessity, utility, and burden of the proposed collection during the comment period. The Paperwork Reduction Act mandates that federal agencies minimize the paperwork burden imposed on the public and demonstrate that any information collected serves a practical utility. OMB's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) reviews such submissions to ensure compliance with these standards before granting clearance.
