The information is collected to apply
for recognition as a natural guardian and request disposition of
securities belonging to a minor in situations where a natural
guardian is no longer acting or a legal representative is not
appointed. Regulations governing U.S. Securities prohibit the
registration of securities in the name of a minor in their own
right. The natural guardian may be given responsibility for the
securities. The information is used to identify the securities
involved and to establish the authority to reissue the securities
or payment in lieu thereof.
The reported burden increase is
an examination of forms downloaded from Public Debt's website over
the past 3-4 years. Previous burden was reported based on estimates
of use without supporting data. The increase of 203 hours is an
adjustment in agency estimate for a total of 208 burden hours
requested.
