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. 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.
    Affected Public: State and local governments.
    Annual Burden Hours: 960.
    Number of Respondents: 24.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 24.
    Average Burden per Response: 40 hours.
    Frequency: Annually.

    Dated: December 15, 2023.
