This requirement states that Community
Residential Care Facilities maintain a record for each Veteran
which contains a copy of the plan of care, emergency notification
procedures, and a copy of all signed agreements with the
resident.
Information collection related
to the CRC recordkeeping requirement was approved by OMB under OMB
control number 2900-0491. This information collection approval
expired on July 31, 1990, and was never renewed. However, the
recordkeeping requirement continues to be part of the CRC
standards, and VA continues to include access and review of those
records as an integral part of the CRC inspection process. VA is
now requesting reinstatement of the previously approved information
collection under control number 2900-0491. The one time per year
response estimate remains valid, as the CRC is required to collect
this information only one time per year. Burden hours are 0.11 per
response. However, the number of estimated respondents has
decreased significantly since the original ICR was approved.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
