Abstract: 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.

Emergency Justfication: PRA responsibilities of the former Financial Management Service (FMS) and Bureau of the Public Debt (BPD) have been combined under the Bureau of the Fiscal Service. Competing priorities related to the Fiscal Service consolidation have not allowed staff to provide proper notice for comments to the public in the Federal Register. An emergency extension is requested to allow for proper comment period allowed to the public.
