SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Involuntary Allotment Application; DD Form 2653; OMB Control Number 0730-0018.

Type of Request: Extension.

Number of Respondents: 2,783.

Responses per Respondent: 1.

Annual Responses: 2,783.

Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.

Annual Burden Hours: 1,392.

Needs and Uses: This collection of information is in response to requests for involuntary allotments. Before responding to a request, the responsible government official must have information that identifies both the applicant and the member against whom the involuntary allotment is sought; proves that the request is based on a valid court judgment; shows that the judgment comports with the provision of the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act (SCRA); and enables consideration for whether exigencies of military duty caused the absence of the member from a judicial proceeding upon which the judgment is based. Apart from information concerning exigencies of military duty, an applicant for an involuntary allotment must provide required information before a government official can act on the applicant's request. The information from the DD Form 2653 is used by DFAS officials to determine whether an involuntary allotment should be established against the pay of a member of the Armed Forces. The information is used to provide government reviewing officials with necessary information to ensure that both the law and due process considerations are accounted for, including information sufficient for a decision maker to determine that the request is based on a valid judgment and that the SCRA has been complied with.

Affected Public: Individuals or households.

Frequency: On occasion.

Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.

OMB Desk Officer: Mrs. Jasmeet Seehra.

DoD Clearance Officer: Mr. Reginald Lucas.
