burden of the proposed collection of
information; (3) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
the use of other forms of information
technology.
Authority: 38 U.S.C. 101(4), 38 CFR
3.667.
Title: Certification of School
Attendance or Termination (VA Form
21–8960).
OMB Control Number: 2900–0458.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: VA compensation and
pension programs require current
information to determine eligibility for
benefits. VA Form 21–8960 solicits
information that is needed to determine
continued benefit eligibility for
schoolchildren between the ages of 18
and 23. If the collection were not
conducted or were conducted less
frequently, VA would be unable to
verify continued entitlement in a timely
manner, and increased overpayments
would result. No changes have been
made to this form. The respondent
burden has decreased due to the
estimated number of receivables
averaged over the past year.
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 219 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 10 minutes.
Frequency of Response: One time.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,314 per year.
By direction of the Secretary.
