The information collection is
necessary to notify the United States of America Vietnam War
Commemoration's Commemorative Partner Program of Commemorative
Partner's planned events for inclusion on the Commemoration's
events calendar, and to request event support and materials from
the program.
For the DD Forms 2956 &
2957, previous burden estimates were one response at 15 minutes per
respondent per year. The number of Commemorative Partners
(respondents) has increased from the previous estimate as has the
number of responses per year. Previous estimates were prepared
before program launch, while current estimates are projections
based on actual responses after program launch. Additionally,
original estimates did not attach an estimated labor cost to
respondents’ time, nor did they capture the total program costs
associated with the forms for the Federal Government, such as
postage, maintenance of a website and database for managing
responses, etc.
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).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
