By this action
OMB approves reinstatement of approval for this form for which VA
had permitted approval to expire. Permitting such an expiration of
approval while a information collection is in use is contrary to
legal responsibilities of the agency under the Paperwor Reduction
Act. VA should submit an inventory correction worksheet to indicate
the correct current burden associated with this information
collection.
