DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

ACTION: Notice.

The Department of Defense has submitted to OMB for clearance, the following proposal for collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by November 24, 2004.

Title, Form, and OMB Number: Tender of service and Letter of Intent for Personal Property Household Goods and Unaccompanied Baggage Shipments; DD Form 619, Statement of Accessorial Services Performed and DD Form 619-1, Statement of Accessorial Services Performed (Storage-In- Transit Delivery and Reweigh); OMB Control Number 0702-0022.

Type of Request: Reinstatement.

Number of Respondents: 2,636.

Responses Per Respondent: 168 (average).

Annual Responses: 441,677.

Average Burden Per Response: 5 minutes.

Annual Burden Hours: 70,548.

Needs and Uses: Since household goods (HHG) move at Government expense, data is needed to choose the best service at the lowest cost to the Government. The information provided by the carrier serves as a bid for contract to transport HHG, unaccompanied baggage, mobile homes, and boats. This information is collected on a regular basis, but is submitted intermittently throughout the year. Best-service-for-least- cost carrier received the contract. DD Form 619 certified that accessorial services were actually performed. The government would not know which carrier to use for shipping personal property if they could not collect this information.

Affected Public: Businesses or other for profit.

Frequency: On occasion.
