SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Revitalizing Base Closure 
Communities, Economic Development Conveyance Annual Financial 
Statement; OMB Control Number 0790-0004.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
to verify that Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) recipients of 
Economic Development Conveyances (EDCs) are in compliance with the 
requirement that the LRA reinvest proceeds from the use of EDC property 
for seven years.
    Affected Public: Business or other for profit; Not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Annual Burden Hours: 2,000.
    Number of Respondents: 50.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 50.
    Average Burden per Response: 40 hours.
    Frequency: Annual.
    Respondents are LRAs that have executed EDC agreements with a 
Military Department that transferred property from a closed military 
installation. As provided by 32 CFR 174.9, such agreements require that 
the LRA reinvest the proceeds from any sale, lease or equivalent use of 
EDC property (or any portion thereof) during at least the first seven 
years after the date of the initial transfer of the property to support 
the economic redevelopment of, or related to, the installation. The 
Secretary of Defense may recoup from the LRA such portion of these 
proceeds not used to support the economic redevelopment of, or related 
to, the installation. LRAs are subject to this same seven-year 
reinvestment requirement if their EDC agreement is modified to reduce 
the debt owed to the Federal Government. Military Departments monitor 
LRA compliance with this provision by requiring an annual financial 
statement certified by an independent Certified Public Accountant. No 
specific form is required.
