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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title and Form Number: Quarterly Report of State Approving Agency
Activities, VA Form 22-7398.
OMB Control Number: 2900-0051.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: The VA has authority to reimburse State Approving
Agencies (SAAs) for necessary salary, and fringe and travel expenses
incurred in the approval and supervision of education and training
programs under Chapter 30, 32, 35, and 36 of Title 38, U.S.C., and
Chapter 1606 of Title 10, U.S.C. Reimbursement is retrospectively on a
monthly or quarterly basis upon submission of an itemized invoice by
the SAA supported by visit reports and program documents. VA Form 22-
7398 is used to standardize the collection of information from the
SAAs. The information is used by the VBA to ensure that the
reimbursements are proper and accurate. Without this report, the VBA
would have no means to compare the efficiency and effectiveness of the
SAAs.
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 February 3, 1997 at page 5070.
Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Government.
Estimated Annual Burden: 240 hours.
Estimated Average Burden Per Respondent: 60 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Quarterly.
Estimated Annual Responses: 240.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 60.
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
