VA requires applicants for national cemetery burial to provide information to verify eligibility for burial in a national cemetery, to schedule interment and to provide services requested by the decedent’s family or personal representative. This information is also used for planning and scheduling cemetery services and to provide for specific requests from family members or the personal representative.

VA updated the annual cost to respondents and to the Federal Government based on more recent data regarding the total number of respondents per year. The revision to information collection described in both the proposed and final rules is based on the need to collect additional types of information, noted in changes to section VII of VA form 40-4962, from a small group of respondents (approximately 85 respondents). However, there is still a population of respondents who provide information required in the other sections, and VA has updated the total number of respondents based on the average of the past two years. VA would like to clarify that this does not change the estimated time required to provide the information requested from respondents, nor does it change the estimated workload for federal employees. It is just a different type of documentary evidence that needs to be provided.
