SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Claim Against the United States for the Proceeds of a 
Government Check.
    OMB Number: 1530-0010.
    Form Number: FS Form 1133.
    Abstract: Form FMS 1133 is used to collect information needed to 
process an individual's claim for non-receipt of proceeds from a U.S. 
Treasury check. Once the information is analyzed, a determination is 
made and a recommendation is submitted to the program agency to either 
settle or deny the claim.
    Current Actions: It has become necessary to introduce a similar 
form to address non-receipt of electronic benefit payments. It is 
estimated that an additional 4,000 annual burden hours will be 
experienced for collection and analysis of the information provided in 
the claim form, and subsequent actions necessary to reconcile the 
claim.
    Current Actions: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Type of Review: Regular.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 51,640.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 10 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 8,607.
    Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice 
will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB approval. All 
comments will become a matter of public record. Comments are invited 
on: (1) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether 
the information shall have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the 
agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (3) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including through the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (5) 
estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, 
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
