Summary of Information Collection

    When a member of the uniformed services is declared mentally 
incompetent, the need arises to have a trustee appointed to act on 
their behalf with regard to military pay matters. Trustees will 
complete this form to report the administration of the funds received 
on behalf of the member. The requirement to complete this form helps 
alleviate the opportunity for fraud, waste and abuse of Government
