DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary


Submission of OMB Review; Comment Request

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department of Defense has submitted to OMB for clearance, the 
following proposal for collection of information under the provisions 
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
    Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: Application for 
Trusteeship; DD Form 2827; OMB Number 0703--[To Be Determined].
    Type of Request: New Collection.
    Number of Respondents: 50.
    Responses per respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 50.
    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 13.
    Needs and Uses: This form is used by the Defense Finance and 
Accounting Service (DFAS--Cleveland Center) to appoint a trustee to act 
on behalf of a member of the uniformed services. The authority for the 
collection of information is 37 U.S.C. sections 602-604. When members 
of the uniformed services are declared mentally incompetent, the need 
arises to have a trustee appointed to act on their behalf with regard 
to military pay matters. This requirement helps alleviate the 
opportunity for fraud, waste, and abuse of Government funds and protect 
member benefits.
    Affected Public: Individuals of Households.
    Frequency: On Occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to Obtain or Retain Benefits.
    OMB Desk Officer: Mr. Edward C. Springer.
    Written comments and recommendations on the proposed information 
collection should be sent to Mr. Springer at the Office of Management 
and Budget, Desk Officer for DoD, Room 10236, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503.
    DOD Clearance Officer: Mr. Robert Cushing.
    Written requests for copies of the information collection proposal 
should be sent to Mr. Cushing, WHS/DIOR, 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, 
Suite 1204, Arlington, VA 22202-4302.

    Dated: July 13, 2000.
Patricia L. Toppings,
Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
