Needs and Uses: Through the Office
of Economic Adjustment (OEA),
Department of Defense (DoD) funds are
provided to communities for economic
adjustment planning in response to
closures and realignments of military
installations. A measure of program
evaluation is the monitoring of civilian
job creation, and the type of
redevelopment at former military
installations. The respondents to the
annual survey will generally be a single
point of contact at the local level that is
responsible for overseeing the base
redevelopment effort. If this data is not
collected, OEA will have no accurate,
timely information regarding the
civilian reuse of former military bases.
As the administrator of the Defense
Economic Adjustment Program, OEA
has a responsibility 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 forprofit; State, local, or tribal government.
Annual Burden Hours: 100.
Number of Respondents: 100.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 100.
Average Burden per Response: 1 hour.
