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 or regulated entities. This submission is made pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), which requires federal agencies to obtain OMB approval before initiating or continuing any information collection activity that burdens the public. The notice invites public comment on the proposed information collection, as required by the PRA process. Members of the public, affected organizations, and other stakeholders have an opportunity to submit comments to OMB regarding the necessity, burden, and appropriateness of the proposed data collection. The Paperwork Reduction Act process is designed to minimize the paperwork burden on individuals, businesses, and other entities when responding to federal information collection requirements. OMB review ensures that collections are necessary, non-duplicative, and designed to minimize respondent burden while meeting agency needs.
