SUMMARY:
In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, DoD announces the proposed extension of a public information collection requirement and seeks public comment on the provisions thereof.

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved this information collection for use under Control Number 0704-0549 through November 30, 2025.
