SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Exceptional Family Member 
Program; DD Form 2792, ``Family Member Medical Summary,'' and DD Form 
2792-1, ``Special Education/Early Intervention Summary; OMB Control 
Number 0704-0411.
    Needs and Uses: This information collection is necessary to 
identify any special medical (DD Form 2792) and/or educational (DD Form 
2792-1) needs of military dependents to ensure the needs are considered 
when being assigned to a new location. The purpose of this information 
collection is to (1) enroll sponsors into the Exceptional Family Member 
Program (EFMP), (2) consider the special needs of family members and 
the availability of medical and educational services through the Family 
Member Travel Screening (FMTS) process, and (3) advise civilian 
employees about the availability of medical and educational services to 
meet the special needs of their family members in overseas locations.
    The sponsor or family member completes the demographics section on 
both collections, a qualified medical provider completes the medical 
summary on DD 2792, and the special education or early intervention 
staff completes the early intervention/special education summary of the 
DD 2792-1. On the DD 2792, the sponsor or family member provides 
authorization for disclosure of the medical information and certifies 
the accuracy of the information. On DD 2792-1, the sponsor or family 
member authorizes the release of information.
    The information is provided to EFMP medical personnel for 
enrollment in the program, and both medical and educational screening 
personnel for their determination of the availability of medical and 
education resources necessary to meet the family member's needs. The 
medical and/or educational recommendation is supplied to the 
appropriate Military Department's personnel department in determining 
the future assignment for the service member.
    This information collection may also be used to identify available 
medical and educational resources to DoD civilian employees who are 
considering a job overseas to assist them in deciding whether to 
relocate overseas with a family member who has special medical or 
educational needs.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
