The Army and Air Force Exchange
Service (Exchange) collects information from military community
members who voluntarily apply for a credit account, such as the
MILITARY STAR card. The Exchange uses this information to decide if
an applicant is eligible for credit, to manage the account, and to
collect payments if an account becomes overdue.

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 “information collections”
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.
