SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; And OMB Number: Application for Correction
of Military Records 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 Sec. 1552,
Active Duty and Reserve Component Service members, Coast Guard, former
Service members, their lawful or legal representatives, spouses of
former 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 error or injustice in their 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. 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/NRs. 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 the Respondent 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 completed DD Form 149, collection
instrument, is filed either online through email, through a secure
portal or submitted via mail by the Respondent. 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: 29,065.
Number of Respondents: 29,065.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 29,065.
