This form is used to collect the verification from a civilian religious organization that a religious support professional, which the organization is recommending for service as a military chaplain, is fully endorsed and qualified to represent the organization as a religious support professional in the military chaplaincy.
This is a reinstatement with a change to an expired collection. The burden is being updated due to agency discretion and to bring the collection closer into line with the number of individual religious organizations that may be expected to fill out the DD Form 2088 over any given year. Though the number of responses and time burden is rising, the cost burden is decreasing to accurately reflect the hourly wages of the respondents who fill out the DD 2088.
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 and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
