SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Camp Lejeune Notification
Database; OMB Control Number 0712-0011.
Needs and Uses: The USMC is collecting this information to identify
and notify individuals who may have been exposed to contaminated
drinking water at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987.
This collection is necessary to comply with Section 315 of the 2008
Defense Authorization Act (Pub. L. 110-181), which mandates that the
Secretary of the Navy notify all persons, including residents and
workers, who were potentially affected.
The information is used to build and maintain the Camp Lejeune
Notification Database. The Marine Corps uses this database to send an
official notification letter and provide registrants with current
information and research updates. The collected information may also be
used by federal health agencies,
[[Page 6208]]
such as the Department of Veteran Affairs and the Agency for Toxic
Substances and Diseases Registry, to assist with future health studies
related to the exposure.
The respondents are former residents and workers of Camp Lejeune
during the specified timeframe who voluntarily register for the
database via the official website, email, or a toll-free number.
Without this information collection, the Marine Corps would be unable
to fulfill its legal obligation to directly contact and inform this
population about their potential exposure and related health
information.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 1,000.
Number of Respondents: 10,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 10,000.
Average Burden per Response: 6 minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
Dated: February 9, 2026.
