Form 2740, OMB Control Number 0790–

0003.

Needs and Uses: Through the Office

of Economic Adjustment (OEA), DOD

funds are provided to communities for

economic adjustment planning in

response to closures of military

installations. A measure of program

evaluation is the monitoring of civilian

job creation and type of redevelopment

at the former military installations. The

respondents to the semi-annual survey

will generally include a single point of

contact at the local level who is

responsible for overseeing

redevelopment efforts. If this data is not

collected, OEA would have no accurate,

timely information regarding the

civilian reuse of former military bases.

A key function of the economic

adjustment program is to encourage

private sector use of lands and buildings

to generate jobs as military activity

diminishes and to serve as a

clearinghouse for reuse data.

Affected Public: Business or Other

For-Profit; Federal Government; State,

Local, or Tribal Government.

Annual Burden Hours: 150.

Number of Annual Respondents: 75.

Annual Responses to Respondent: 2.
