Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: Tender of Service and
Letter of Intent for Personal Property Household Goods and
Unaccompanied Baggage Shipments; DD Form 619 and DD Form 619-1; OMB
Control Number 0702-0022.
Needs and Uses: Since household goods (HHG) move at Government
expense, data is needed to choose the best service at lowest cost to
the Government. The information provided by the carrier serves as a bid
for contract to transport HHG, unaccompanied baggage, mobile homes, and
boats. This information is collected on a regular basis, but it
submitted intermittently throughout the year. Best-service-for-least-
cost carrier receives the contract. DD Form 619 certifies that
accessorial services were actually performed. The Government would not
know which carriers to use for shipping personal property if they could
not collect this information.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
Annual Burden Hours: 70,548.
Number of Respondents: 2,636.
Responses per Respondent: 167.5556.
Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of Information Collection
The Tender of Service is the contractual agreement between DoD and
the carrier, under which the carrier agrees to provide services in
accordance with the terms and conditions cited in the Tender of
Service. In accordance with the provisions of DOD 4500.9-R, the DD Form
619 is used by the household goods carrier industry to itemize packing
material and other charges for billing purposes on household goods and
unaccompanied baggage shipments.
Dated: October 22, 2007.
