SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title, Associated Form and OMB Number: Exchange Credit Program; OMB 
Control Number 0702-0137.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection is the basis for 
determining Exchange patron credit eligibility, enhancing the patron's 
shopping experience, determining the patron's suitability to cash 
checks at Exchange facilities, and collecting government debts. 
Allowing patrons to use credit in their shopping experience supports 
the efficiency and effectiveness of the Exchange's marketing programs 
and the mission to support the Army's Family and Morale, Welfare and 
Recreation Programs. Authorized patrons include individuals who are 
members of the uniformed services, retired members, authorized 
veterans, and dependents of members of the Armed Forces, commissioned 
officers of the Public Health Service, and commissioned officers of the 
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Other individuals may 
meet the requirements of being patrons as mandated by regulation. The 
Exchange offers ``personal credit'' accounts to service members for 
purchases of military clothing and to all authorized patrons a private 
label Military Star credit card for retail purchases. Patrons deciding 
to apply for credit may voluntarily complete the application form 
online, through a local Exchange facility by completing the Exchange 
paper form CRC 7429395 ``Military Star Credit Paper Application'', or 
by supplying information to an authorized Exchange cashier at the Point 
of Sale. Account holders requesting to update information on their 
account may do so electronically by visiting <a href="https://www.myecp.com/">https://www.myecp.com/</a>, or 
by contacting the Exchange MILITARY STAR department at 1-877-891-7827. 
Information collected from the patron allows the Exchange to address 
their credit worthiness, and supply monthly statements and debt 
communication, to include wage garnishments.

    Number of Respondents: 869,231.
