Benefits Administration (VBA), Department of Veterans Affairs, has

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Application for Exclusion of Children's Income, VA Form 21-
0571.
OMB Control Number: 2900-0510.
Type of Review: Reinstatement, without change, for a previously
approved collection for which approval has expired.
Abstract: A veteran's or surviving spouse's rate of Improved
Pension is determined by family income. Normally, income of children
who are members of the household is included in this determination.
However, children's income may be excluded if it is unavailable or if
consideration of that income would cause hardship. The information
collected is used by VA to determine whether children's income can be
excluded from consideration in determining a parent's eligibility for
nonservice-connected pension.
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 on September 24, 1998 at page 51121.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 18,750 hours.
Estimated Average Burden Per Respondent: 45 minutes.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 25,000.
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. 2900-0510'' in any correspondence.
Dated: November 20, 1998.
By direction of the Secretary.
Donald L. Neilson,
Director, Information Management Service.
