Summary of Information Collection

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 Medical and Educational 
Summary Form, will be completed for family members who have been

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