An increase in burden hours occurred as a result of the implementation of the Post-9/11 GI Bill. The number of approvals increased steadily since the implementation of the program thus creating an overall increase in the burden. During FY 2009 and FY 2010 the SAAs issued an average of 8800 substantive approval actions annually. The burden hours for this collection was based on 50% of the average number of approvals received over the last two years. VA estimates that the SAA will not need to review approvals for at least 50% of programs requesting approval (or amended approval) as PL 111-377 deemed the following programs as approved for VA purposes (requiring no review by the SAA): • Accredited standard college degree program offered by public and non-profit institutions of higher learning • Flight training courses approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) offered by a certified pilot school that possesses a valid FAA pilot school certificate • An apprenticeship program registered with the Department of Labor • A program leading to a secondary school diploma offered by a secondary school approved in the State in which it is operating. An increase in cost occurred as a result of an increase in number of reviews completed and VA employee wages.
