The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness is asking for public comments on their proposed information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The comments should address whether the information collection is necessary, its practical utility, its burden, and how it can be improved or made less burdensome. The proposal includes a system called the Military OneSource Case Management System, which aims to provide comprehensive online information to military members and their families. The deadline for submitting comments is February 18, 2025, and individuals or households are the primary respondents, with an expected 242,711 respondents each dedicating one hour of their time.
Simple Explanation
The Defense Department wants to check if asking military families for some information is useful and not too much work for them. They would like to hear ideas on how to make the process easier before February 18, 2025.
