Comment on Information Collection Notice-Monthly Record of Training and Wages; OMB No. 0176; FR Doc. #2013-02026; Payne, Marcus S.

I want to see how this form works in compliance with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) regulation 38 C.F.R. § 21.294 (a)(4)(i)(ii)(2012) and 18 U.S.C. § 1001 et. seq. Specifically, it is up to a Government official to submit and “provide timely and accurate information covering the veteran’s attendance, performance, and progress in training in the manner prescribed by VA.” But if the information is not “accurate” (which is to be submitted to VA by regulation, see supra) should this form identify and have the protection of and do not violate 18 U.S.C. § 1001 et. seq.? It is recommended that the VETERAN have absolute protection of these two important regulatory and statutory protection as with information being submitted as the “veteran’s attendance, performance, and progress in training in the manner prescribed by VA.” I am interested because as a participant in the Chapter 31, Title 38 federally funded Non-Paid Work Experience program it is essential, and be known to be a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. § 1001 et. seq. that the Government official "must" submit “accurate” information about the disabled veteran to the VA. The VETERAN must be protected from rogue officials who seek to HARM the VETERAN by what is submitted on this federal form
