Summary of Information Collection

    The Military Departments of the Department of Defense screen all 
family members prior to a service member and Federal employee being 
assigned to an overseas location and to some assignments in the United 
States. DD Form 2792, Exceptional Family Member Program Medical and 
Educational Summary Form, will be completed for family members who have 
been identified with a special medical or educational need to document

special health or educational needs in order to advise the civilian 
employee of the availability of the needed services.
