SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: TRICARE Plus Enrollment 
Application and TRICARE Plus Disenrollment Request; DD Form 2853 and DD 
Form 2854; OMB Control Number 0720-0028.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
for enrollment and disenrollment in the Department of Defense's TRICARE 
Plus Health Plan established in accordance with Title 10 U.S.C. 1099 
(which calls for a healthcare enrollment system) and 1086 (which 
authorizes TRICARE eligibility of Medicare Eligible Persons and has 
resulted in the development of a new enrollment option called TRICARE 
Plus) and the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs Policy 
Memorandum to Establish the TRICARE Plus Program, June 22, 2001. The 
information collected hereby provides the TRICARE contractors with 
necessary data to determine beneficiary eligibility and to identify the 
selection of a health care option.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 386.
    Number of Respondents: 3305.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 3305.
    Average Burden per Response: 7 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    The Department of Defense established TRICARE Plus as an enrollment 
option for persons who are eligible for care in Military Treatment 
Facilities (MTF) and not enrolled in TRICARE Prime. TRICARE Plus 
provides an opportunity to enroll with a primary care provider at a 
specific MTF, to the extent capacity exists. This is a way to 
facilitate primary care appointments at an MTF when needed. TRICARE 
Plus enrollment will help MTFs maintain an adequate clinical case mix 
for Graduate Medical Education programs and support readiness-related 
medical skills sustainment activities. In order to carry out this 
program, it is necessary that certain beneficiaries electing to enroll/
disenroll in TRICARE Plus complete an enrollment application/
disenrollment request. Completion of the enrollment forms is an 
essential element of the TRICARE program. There is no lock-in and no 
enrollment fee for TRICARE Plus.
