SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

for Air Transportation of Remains of Casualties Dying in a Theater of 
Combat Operations, DD Form 3050; OMB Control Number 0704-XXXX.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
to obtain the selection (as applicable) of the Person Authorized to 
Direct Disposition (PADD) or the Person Authorized to Effect 
Disposition (PAED) of the remains of the decedent. These forms were 
directed by the Secretary of Defense for transparency and 
standardization of the mortuary procedures as part of the Final Report 
of the Dover Port Mortuary Independent Review Subcommittee 
Implementation Plan and 180-day study. The applicable form(s) is 
included in the individual case file of the decedent.
    Affected Public: Business or Other For-Profit; Individuals or 
Households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 225.
    Number of Respondents: 900.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 900.
    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    The respondents are the PADD or PAED of the decedent and the 
witness to that selection. The PADD or PAED document their election, 
sign the applicable form to formalize this process and document the 
election of the PADD or PAED as applicable. These forms become a part 
of the Official Individual Deceased Personnel File. If the PADD or PAED 
do not sign these forms, then the Department cannot provide mortuary 
and transportation services as requested by the PADD or PAED. 
Currently, there is a lack of standardization across the Military 
Services as each Service currently utilizes different forms for these 
elections and they do not all capture the same information even on 
similar forms. Standardizing the information collected is essential in 
maintaining the transparency and integrity of the mortuary affairs 
process.
