DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
[OMB Control No. 2900-0107]
Agency Information Collection Activities Under OMB Review
AGENCY: Veterans Benefits Administration, Department of Veterans
Affairs.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995
(44 U.S.C., 3501 et seq.), this notice announces that the Veterans
Benefits Administration (VBA), Department of Veterans Affairs, has
submitted the collection of information abstracted below to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The PRA
submission describes the nature of the information collection and its
expected cost and burden; it includes the actual data collection
instrument.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before December 22, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR A COPY OF THE SUBMISSION CONTACT: Denise
McLamb, Information Management Service (045A4), Department of Veterans
Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20420, (202) 273-8030
or FAX (202) 273-5981. Please refer to ``OMB Control No. 2900-0107.''
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Certificate as to Securities, VA Form 21-4709.
OMB Control Number: 2900-0107.
Type of Review: Reinstatement, with change, of a previously
approved collection for which approval has expired.
Abstract: The form is used to verify investment in saving bonds and
other securities reported in the accounting as part of the
beneficiary's estate. The information provided on the form provides VA
with an independent verification of the value of reported estate
assets. Without independent verification of assets, account audits
would be less useful in preventing asset diversion, fraud and abuse.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a
60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of
information was published August 3, 1999 at pages 42171-42172.
Affected Public: Individuals or households, business or other for-
profit, not-for-profit institutions, State, Local or Tribal Government.
Estimated Annual Burden: 863 hours.
Estimated Average Burden Per Respondent: 12 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Generally one time.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 4,316.
Send comments and recommendations concerning any aspect of the
information collection to VA's OMB Desk Officer, Allison Eydt, OMB
Human Resources and Housing Branch, New Executive Office Building, Room
10235, Washington, DC 20503 (202) 395-4650. Please refer to ``OMB
Control No. 2900-0107'' in any correspondence.
Dated: November 1, 1999.
By direction of the Secretary.
