10 United States Code, Section 1056
requires the provision of relocation assistance to military members
and their families. Requirements include provision of information
on housing costs/availability and home finding services. The
Enterprise Military Housing System (eMH) includes a public web site
(HOMES.mil) which collects information needed to facilitate
military personnel searching for suitable community rental housing
within close proximity to military installations.

The burden has increased since
the previous approval due to the implementation of Login.gov for
logging in. This removed the requirement for a 16 character
password and has increased the use of HOMES.mil. The cost to
maintain HOMES.mil has decreased as the application is in
maintenance with no significant new development. HEAT was also
added to the OMB package therefore increasing the respondent and
burden hours.
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 proposed collection of information, that the certification

(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
