SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Request for Payment of Federal Benefit by Check, EFT Waiver 
Form.

    Form Number: FS Form 1201W, FS Form 1201W-DFAS, FS Form 1201W (SP).
    Abstract: 31 CFR part 208 requires that all Federal non-tax 
payments be made by electronic funds transfer (EFT). The forms are used 
to collect information from individuals requesting a waiver from the 
EFT requirement because of a mental impairment, living in a remote 
geographic location that does not support the use of EFT, or persons 
born on or before May 1, 1921. These individuals may continue to 
receive payment by check. However, 31 CFR part 208 requires individuals 
requesting one of these waiver conditions to submit a written 
justification that is notarized by a notary public. In order to assist 
individuals with this submission, Treasury has prepared waiver forms in 
order to collect all necessary information.
    Current Actions: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Type of Review: Regular.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,250.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 20 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,083.
    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.
