Summary of Information Collection

    The completed form is used as the source document to record 
information and details of traffic accidents which may: (1) Require 
investigative action by commanders, security police and other law 
enforcement/investigatory authorities, and/or (2) require possible 
criminal prosecution and civil court actions. The form also provides 
information to appropriate individuals and organizations within DoD and 
appropriate law enforcement authorities who ensure proper legal and 
administrative actions are taken. Failure to collect data from 
witnesses and complainants will: (1) Prevent the identification of 
offenders, (2) prevent the determination of accident cause/liability, 
and (3) prevent the resolution of the accident through subsequent legal 
and administrative actions.
