SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: DoD Mortuary Affairs Forms;
DD Form(s) 0565, 3045, 3046, 3047, 3048, 3049, 3050, 3116, 3122; OMB
Control Number: 0704-0581.
Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary
to obtain and document information related to deceased personnel and
their family members. The information collection documents selections
made by family members and others as part of the required mortuary case
file. As stated in 10 United States Code (U.S.C.) 1481, ``Recovery,
Care, and Disposition of Remains: Decedents Covered,'' the DoD may
provide for the recovery, care, and disposition of the remains for
active-duty Regulars, Reserve Component members, applicants, trainees,
military prisoners, and others. The DoD is further authorized, per 10
U.S.C. 1482 and 10 U.S.C. 1482a to provide reimbursement, cover
expenses, or otherwise provide mortuary services for decedents,
including civilian employees serving with the armed forces. Mortuary
affairs personnel must document information on the information
collections to ensure proper care, transportation, escort, honors and
disposition of remains, as applicable. Depending on the circumstances,
a Person Authorized to Direct Disposition (PADD) or Person Authorized
to Effect Disposition may be asked to complete up to six forms. All
PADDs will complete the DD Form 3045, but may additionally be asked to
provide information on the DD Forms 3046, 3047, 3048, 3049, and/or
3050.
The DD Form 565 is a form to assist mortuary personnel with the
identification of the remains of deceased personnel, family members,
civilians, or other personnel that may be in the care of the DoD.
Identification of deceased persons is a critical step in providing
proper disposition of the remains. Information collected includes
information on the respondent and a witness.
The DD Form 3116 is a report filed with Service casualty and
mortuary affairs offices with information regarding the transportation
of human remains of deceased active duty personnel to their place of
interment. The escort also reports on the condition of remains, casket
and any incident during transportation to assist the Service Casualty
and Mortuary Affairs Operations Division (CMAOD) in their support of
the person authorized to direct disposition of the remains. The report
also informs the Service CMAOD of any issue needed to be resolved with
the receiving funeral home.
The DD Form 3122 is an official request for military funeral honors
at the funeral or memorial of an eligible deceased veteran. A request
for military funeral honors for an eligible veteran must be supported
by law. The form will be sent to military funeral honors coordinators
for their review, analysis for eligibility, scheduling, and to capture
costs to provide the required military funeral honors elements. The
form contains contact information for the next-of-kin requesting
military funeral honors.
