#  Agency Information Collection (Time Record (Work-Study Program)) Activity Under OMB Review

**AGENCY:**

Veterans Benefits Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs.

**ACTION:**

Notice.

**SUMMARY:**

In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521), this notice announces that the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA), Department of Veterans Affairs, will submit the collection of information abstracted below to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The PRA submission describes the nature of the information collection and its expected cost and burden; it includes the actual data collection instrument.

**DATES:**

Comments must be submitted on or before July 1, 2011.

**ADDRESSES:**

Submit written comments on the collection of information through *http://www.Regulations.gov* or to VA's OMB Desk Officer, OMB Human Resources and Housing Branch, New Executive Office Building, Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503 (202) 395-7316. Please refer to “OMB Control No. 2900-0379” in any correspondence.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**

Denise McLamb, Enterprise Records Service (005R1B), Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20420, (202) 461-7485, Fax (202) 461-0966 or e-mail *[email protected].* Please refer to “OMB Control No. 2900-0379.”

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

*Title:* Time Record (Work-Study Program), VA Form 22-8690.

*OMB Control Number:* 2900-0379.

*Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection.

*Abstract:* Training establishments complete VA Form 22-8690 to report the number of work-study hours a claimant has completed. When a claimant elects to receive an advance payment, VA will advance payment for 50 hours, but will withhold benefits (to recoup the advance payment) until the claimant completes 50 hours of service. If the claimant elects not to receive an advance payment, benefits are payable when the claimant completes 50 hours of service. VA uses the data collected to ensure that the amount of benefits payable to a claimant who is pursuing work-study is correct.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The *Federal Register* Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on March 18, 2011, at pages 15052-15053.

*Affected Public:* State, Local or Tribal Governments.

*Estimated Annual Burden:* 21,752 hours.

*Estimated Average Burden per Respondent:* 5 minutes.

*Frequency of Response:* On occasion.

*Estimated Annual Responses:* 261,020.

*Estimated Number of Respondents:* 65,255.

By Direction of the Secretary.

Dated: May 25, 2011.

Program Analyst, Enterprise Records Service.
