    Correction

    FR Doc. 2022-21017, published on Wednesday, September 28, 2022, at 87 FR 187, make the following corrections. On page 58945, under the heading “Abstract,” please correct and replace the language with, “VA Form 21-526EZ is used to collect the information needed to process a claim for disability compensation and related compensation benefits. Though, this form was initially created to be used to submit fully developed claims (FDC), it has evolved into a standard claim form to be used for any benefit associated with disability compensation; to include new or initial claims and claims for increase.

    The respondent burden for VA Form 21-526EZ has increased due to: the number of receivables averaged over the past year, general program changes—such as regulatory changes, and the continuing improvement of VA's electronic claims processing systems.

    VA Form 21-526EZ has been updated, to include: new instructions on presumptive service connection; the GENDER question has been removed; a new Section IV: Exposure Information, including new questions that identify toxic exposures the claimant may have been exposed to during service; and an `Addendum' has been added to provide additional space for disabilities if the claimant has more than the space provided in Section V: Claim Information.

    By direction of the Secretary.
