SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Personal Check Cashing 
Agreement; DD Form 2761; OMB Control Number 0730-0005.
    Needs and Uzses: The information collection requirement is 
necessary to meet the Department of Defense's (DoD) requirement for 
cashing personal checks overseas and afloat by DoD disbursing 
activities, as provided in 31 U.S.C. 3342. The DoD Financial Management 
Regulation, volume 5, provides guidance to DoD disbursing officers in 
the performance of this information collection. This allows the DoD 
disbursing officer or authorized agent the authority to offset the pay 
without prior notification in cases where this form has been signed 
subject to conditions specified within the approved procedures.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 1187.
    Number of Respondents: 4748.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 4748.
    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    The Personal Check Cashing Agreement form is designed exclusively 
to help the DoD disbursing offices expedite the collection process of 
dishonored checks. The front of the form will be completed and signed 
by the authorized individual requesting check cashing privileges. By 
signing the form, the individual is freely and voluntarily consenting 
to the immediate collection from their current pay, without prior 
notice, for the face value of any check cashed, plus any charges 
assessed against the government by a financial institution, in the 
event the check is dishonored. In the event the check is dishonored, 
the disbursing office will complete and certify the reverse side of the 
form and forward the form to the applicable payroll office for 
collection from the individual's current pay.
