The is not a change in burden
hours despite the deletion of the VA Form 10-0361-Series, as the
collection of information has not changed only the instrument of

specific collection of information questions to reflect the
requirements of current regulatory/statutory changes to those
requirements as they relate to each specific grant or per diem
application without having to have the cost of modifying a new form
each time a change is made. In addition, the standard business
format allows applicants to use existing business resources to
complete the collection.
