SUMMARY:

In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) published a collection of information notice in the Federal Register on July 31, 2013, at 78 FR 147, announcing an opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain information by the agency. The notice solicited comments on forms associated with 38 CFR parts 51 and 52, relating to per diem payments for certain services provided for residents of state-sponsored Veterans homes. With respect to the collection of information in that notice, we are withdrawing our request for comments because of the need to reassess the burden on the public associated with the respective forms.
