SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection 

Respondents are LRAs that have 

executed no-cost EDC agreements with 

a Military Department that transferred 

property from a closed military 

installation. As provided by Section 

2821(a)(3)(B)(i) of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000 

(Pub. L. 106–65), 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. LRA’s 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.
