Agency Information Collection Activities Under OMB Review
AGENCY: National Cemetery System, 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 National
Cemetery System (NCS), 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 March 23, 1998.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR A COPY OF THE SUBMISSION CONTACT: Ron
Taylor, Information Management Service (045A4), Department of Veterans
Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20420, (202) 273-8015
or FAX (202) 273-5981. Please refer to ``OMB Control No. 2900-0546.''
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title and Form Number: Adjacent Gravesite Set-Aside Survey (2
Year), VA Form Letter 40-40.
OMB Control Number: 2900-0546.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: In the past, the survey was conducted annually. VA Form
Letter 40-40 will be sent biennially (once every two years on a 24
month rotating basis) to individuals holding gravesite set-asides in
national cemeteries to ascertain their wish to retain their set-aside,
or wish to relinquish it. The collection of information is necessary to
assure that gravesite set-asides are not wasted. Some holders become
ineligible, are buried elsewhere, or simply wish to cancel a gravesite
set-aside for them. Without this information, unused set-asides would
exist which could be used by other veterans.
