on the provisions thereof. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request further information on this 
proposed information collection, or to obtain a copy of the proposal 
and associated collection instrument, please write to the above address 
or call Ms. Katie Smith at (703) 604-2400.
    Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: Base Realignment and 
Closure (BRAC) Military Base Reuse Status, DD Form 2740, OMB Control 
Number 0790-0003.
    Needs and Uses: Through the Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA), 
DOD funds are provided to communities for economic adjustment planning 
in response to closures of military installations. A measure of program 
evaluation is the monitoring of civilian job creation and type of 
redevelopment at the former military installations. The respondents to 
the semi-annual survey will generally include a single point of contact 
at the local level who is responsible for overseeing redevelopment 
efforts. If this data is not collected, OEA would have no accurate, 
timely information regarding the civilian reuse of former military 
bases. A key function of the economic adjustment program is to 
encourage private sector use of lands and buildings to generate jobs as 
military activity diminishes and to serve as a clearinghouse for reuse 
data.
    Affected Public: Business or Other For-Profit; Federal Government; 
State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Annual Burden Hours: 150.
    Number of Annual Respondents: 75.
    Annual Responses to Respondent: 2.
    Average Burden per Response: 1 hour.
    Frequency: Semi-annual.
