Title Associated With Form, and OMB Number: TRICARE Retiree Dental Program Enrollment Form, OM Number 0720–0015. Needs and Uses: This information collection is completed by Uniformed Services members entitled to retired pay and their eligible family members who are seeking enrollment in the TRICARE Retiree Dental Program (TRDP). The information is necessary to enable the DoD-contracted third party administrator of the program to identify the program’s applicants, determine their eligibility for TRDP enrollment, establish the premium payment amount, and to verify by the applicant’s signature that the applicant understands the benefits and rules of the program. Affected Public: Individuals or household. Annual Burden Hours: 17,833. Number of Respondents: 71,332. Responses per Respondent: 1. Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes. Frequency: Once, at time of initial application. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES Summary of Information Collection The TRICARE Retiree Dental Program (32 CFR 199.22) was implemented in 1998 based on the authority of 10 U.S.C. 1076c. Dental coverage under the program is available on a voluntary basis to retirees of the Uniformed Services entitled to retired pay and their family members. The initial Notice of Proposed rule and proposed information VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:22 Apr 09, 2007 Jkt 211001 collection was published in the Federal Register (62 FR 34032) on June 24, 1997. No comments were received concerning the information collection requirements at that time. The information collection requirements under this proposed extension are similar to those under the current collection. Information on the applicant, such as name, address, telephone numbers, retiree’s social security numbers, is necessary for identification purposes, as is information on the family members to be enrolled. The form contains information on premium payment types of enrollments, and enrollment periods, and a certification statement for the applicant to sign and date. The primary change in the proposed extension of the information collection is the elimination of the requirement for information on the applicant’s chosen premium payment methodology if the applicant is not entitled to retired pay (e.g., a surviving spouse). The third party administrator of the program has found it unnecessary to continue the collection of this information on the enrollment form. Dated: April 2, 2007. Patricia L.
