The total respondent burden has decreased significantly because two information collections have been removed from the request. These collections covered updates that account holders can make to their Military Star card account, either in-person or online. Upon consideration, it was determined that such actions are not considered âinformation collectionsâ under the Paperwork Reduction Act and have therefore been removed from the request. The burden estimates for the remaining information collections have not changed.
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.
