DoD Information Collection Submission to OMB 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) requesting clearance to collect information from the public, as required under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). This notice invites public comment on the proposed data collection activity before OMB makes a final determination. The Paperwork Reduction Act mandates that federal agencies obtain OMB approval before collecting information from ten or more persons. This submission is part of the standard regulatory review process to ensure the information collection is necessary, minimizes burden on respondents, and avoids duplication with existing collections. Members of the public and affected organizations have the opportunity to submit comments to OMB regarding the necessity, utility, and burden of the proposed information collection. Comments typically must be submitted within 30 days of the notice's publication in the Federal Register. This is an administrative procedural notice and does not itself impose new substantive obligations; however, approval by OMB would authorize the DoD to proceed with the described information collection from individuals or entities.
