    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
to provide a basis for computing civilian pay entitlements and to keep 
a record of the history of pay transactions. Information collected is 
necessary to accurately accrue civilian's correct leave, benefits, 
retirement and pay, issue bonds, pay taxes, and to keep the Exchange 
compliant with court orders such as Qualifying Domestic Relations 
Orders which obligate the Exchange to pay benefits to ex-spouses or 
other Exchange employee(s) or ex-employee(s), and the ability to answer 
any inquires to process such claims. These uses require the collection 
of the individual's names, SSN, address, email address, telephone 
numbers and a copy of any court orders submitted to the Exchange.
    Affected Public: Exchange employee family members, and former 
spouses.
    Annual Burden Hours: 65,000.
    Number of Respondents: 260,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.0.
    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondents are Exchange terminated employees, retired employees, 
employee beneficiaries, and contractors who are actively working with 
the exchange. These individuals submit information to the Exchange 
primarily through electronic means so the Exchange may pay them 
appropriately for their time and accurately provide them with benefits 
and leave.
