performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Involuntary Allotment
Application; DD Form 2653; OMB Control Number 0704-0367.
Needs and Uses: This collection of information is in response to
requests for involuntary allotments. Before responding to a request,
the responsible government official must have information that
identifies both the applicant and the member against whom the
involuntary allotment is sought; proves that the request is based on a
valid court judgment; shows that the judgment comports with the
provision of the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act (SCRA); and
enables consideration for whether exigencies of military duty caused
the absence of the member from a judicial proceeding upon which the
judgment is based. With the exception of information concerning
exigencies of military duty, an applicant for an involuntary allotment
must provide required information before a government official can act
on the applicant's request. The information from the DD Form 2653 is
used by DFAS officials to determine whether an involuntary allotment
should be established against the pay of a member of the Armed Forces.
The information is used to provide government reviewing officials with
necessary information to ensure that both the law and due process
considerations are accounted for, including information sufficient for
a decision maker to determine that the request is based on a valid
judgment and that the SCRA has been complied with.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 1,392 hours.
Number of Respondents: 2,783.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 2,783.
Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
Dated: June 16, 2021.
