SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Application for Correction
of Military Record Under the Provisions of Title 10, U.S. Code, Section
1552; DD Form 149; OMB Control Number 0704-0003.
Needs and Uses: Under Title 10 United States Code 1552, Active Duty
and Reserve Component Service members, Coast Guard, former Service
members, their lawful or legal representatives, spouses of former
[[Page 39073]]
Service members on issues of Survivor Benefit Program (SBP) benefits,
and civilian employees with respect to military records other than
those related to civilian employment, who believe they have suffered an
injustice as a result of error or injustice in military records
(hereafter referred to as Respondent), may apply to their respective
Boards for Correction of Military/Naval Records (BCM/NR) for a
correction of their military record. These BCM/NR is the highest level
of administrative review authority regarding official personnel records
in the Military Departments. The information collected is needed to
provide the BCM/NR the basic data to process and act on the
Respondent's request.
The Respondent applies to the respective BCM/NR, which uses the DD
Form 149, ``Application for Correction of Military Record under the
Provisions of Title 10, U.S. Code, Section 1552,'' as the collection
instrument. The form is formatted in both electronic and paper format
with text or hand-written fillable entries. The information from the DD
Form 149 is used by the respective BCM/NR in processing the
respondent's request pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 1552. The DD Form 149 was
developed to standardize application to the BCM/NR. This information is
used to identify and secure the appropriate official military and
medical records from the records storage facilities. Information on the
form is also used to determine status, to allow respondents to
designate counsel of choice, to identify the issues involved, and to
determine if the request was filed within the three-year statute of
limitations established by Congress (10 U.S.C. 1552).
The request is initiated by the Respondent; therefore, there is no
preemptory request or invitation sent to the Respondent associated with
the information collection. The information collected from the DD Form
149 is used by the respective BCM/NR to determine if an error or
injustice has occurred in an individual's military record and, if
applicable, the BCM/NR will promulgate a correction based on error,
injustice, or clemency.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 20,759 hours.
Number of Respondents: 20,759.
