The collection instrument is used to
collect information from eligible beneficiaries who want to enroll
in or disenroll from TRICARE Plus. TRICARE Plus is an enrollment
option for TRICARE beneficiaries who want an affiliation with a
primary care provider at a Military Treatment Facility (MTF) and
are either ineligible for TRICARE Prime or prefer a more limited
relationship (primary care only). The collection instrument is used
by contractors to determine beneficiary eligibility and to identify
the selection of a health option.
Adjustment is due to
reinstatement of a currently approved collection. Burden hours
adjustments are due to the ever changing access to TRICARE Plus.
The only changes to the forms were the Privacy Act Statement and
the Agency Disclosure Notice.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
