    Needs and Uses: In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 1447 and DoD Financial 
Management Regulation, 7000.14-R, Volume 7B, a child annuitant between 
the age of 18 and 22 years of age must provide evidence of intent to 
continue study or training at a recognized educational institution. The 
certificate is required for the school semester or other period in 
which the school year is divided.
    Affected Public: Individuals.
    Annual Burden Hours: 720 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 3,600.
    Responses Per Respondent: 1 each semester.
    Average Burden Per Response: 12 minutes.
    Frequency: Once each semester of full time school, ages 18 to 22.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection

    The Child Annuitant's School Certification form is submitted to the 
child for completion and returned to this agency. The child will 
certify as to his or her intent for future enrollment and a school 
official must certify on the past or present school enrollment of the 
child. By not obtaining school certification, overpayment of annuities 
to children would exist. This information may be collected from some 
schools which are non-profit institutions such as religious 
institutions. If information is not received after the end of each 
school enrollment, over-disbursements of an annuity would be made to a 
child who elected not to continue further training or study.
