SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Request for Payment of Federal Benefit by Check, EFT Waiver
Form.
OMB Number: 1530-0019.
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.
