SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of Information Collection
Respondents are individuals or representatives of Federal and non-
Federal government agencies, community groups, non-profit
organizations, and civic organizations requesting Armed Forces support
for patriotic events conducted in the civilian domain. DD Forms 2535
and 2536 record the type of military support requested, event data, and
sponsoring organization information. The completed forms provide the
Armed Forces the minimum information necessary to determine whether an
event is eligible for military participation and whether the desired
support is permissible and/or available. If the forms are not provided,
the review process is greatly increased because the Armed Forces must
make additional written and telephonic inquiries with the event
sponsor. In addition, use of the forms reduces the event sponsor's
preparation time because the forms provide a detailed outline of
[[Page 57156]]
information required, eliminate the need for a detailed letter, and
contain concise information necessary for determining appropriateness
of military support. Use of the forms is essential to reduce
preparation and processing time, increase productivity, and maximize
responsiveness to the public.
