This information collection
requirement is necessary because the Military Services are
authorized to repay student loans for individuals who meet certain
criteria and who enlist for active military service or who enter
Reserve service for a specific obligated period. Applicants who
qualify for the program forward the DD Form 2475, "DOD Loan
Repayment Program (LRP) Annual Application," to their Military
Service Personnel Office for processing. The Military Service
Personnel Office verifies the information and fills in the loan
repayment date, address, and phone number. For the Reserve
Components, the Military Service Personnel Office forwards the DD
Form 2475 to the lending institution. For active-duty Service, the
Service mails the form to the lending institution. The lending
institution confirms the loan status and certification and mails
the form back to the Military Service Personnel Office.
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).
