    Needs and Uses: The information collection is needed to identify 
the prospective trustees for active duty military and retirees. The 
information is required in order for the Defense Finance and Accounting 
Service (DFAS) to make payments on behalf of incompetent military 
members or retirees. DFAS is representing all services as the 
functional proponent for Retired and Annuitant Pay.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 18.75.
    Number of Respondents: 75.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 75.
    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    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. Individuals will 
complete this form to apply for appointment as a trustee on behalf of 
the member. The requirement to complete this form helps alleviate the 
opportunity for fraud, waste, and abuse of government funds and 
member's benefits.
