Notice.
The Department of Defense has submitted to OMB for clearance, the following proposal for collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: Trustee Report, DD Form 2826; OMB Number 0703—[To Be Determined].
Type of Request: New Collection.
Number of Respondents: 300.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 300.
Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.

Needs and Uses: This form is used to report on the administration of the funds received on behalf of a mentally incompetent member of the uniformed services. The authority for the collection of information is 37 U.S.C. sections 602-604.

This reporting requirement helps alleviate the opportunity for fraud, waste, and abuse of Government funds and member benefits.
Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
Frequency: On Occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to Obtain or Retain Benefits.
OMB Desk Officer: Mr. Edward C. Springer.
