SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Pre-Embarkation Certificate 
of Disinsection; DD 3044; OMB Control Number 0704-0568.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
to provide proof of aircraft disinsection to foreign countries that 
require it, before cargo and aircrew will be allowed to dis-embark in 
those countries.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 166.7.
    Number of Respondents: 1,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 1,000.
    Average Burden per Response: 10 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondents are DoD-contracted pest managers. These pest management 
professionals would be required to fill out the certificate of 
disinsection, log it in the appropriate database, and provide a copy to 
the aircrew. Aircraft disinsection (spraying with insecticide to kill 
all insects aboard) is currently required in 14 countries for arriving 
military aircraft. Most of those countries also require documentation 
proving that the aircraft was disinsected, per their instructions in 
the Foreign Clearance Guide (FCG). The burden for this collection is 
calculated based on the number of times U.S. aircraft currently enter 
countries with the requirement to produce a certificate of 
disinsection. The certificates used, are unique to each of the 
countries with the requirement. They are not collections managed by the 
U.S. Government. The Armed Forces Pest Management Board (AFPMB) 
published technical guide (TG) for pest managers and aircrew to follow. 
This guidance standardizes our requirements for disinsection in the FCG 
for all countries our aircraft enter. One such requirement is the use 
of a standardized form by all DoD that satisfies the documentation 
requirements of disinsection for these 14 countries.
