*Abstract:* This information (VA Form 40-10007) is needed to collect information from Veterans and service members who wish to determine their eligibility for burial in a VA national cemetery prior to their time of need for planning purposes. The data will be used for this purpose. The burden increased since the previous approval due to an increase in the number of respondents and responses. The number of respondents increased to 50,000 from the previous approval of 47,400 in 2023. Due to more respondents and an increase in the hourly wage rate, the cost to respondents increased from $442,558 to $524,667 resulting in an increase of $82,109 in respondent cost. The cost to the Federal Government increased due to the annual responses increasing since the previous approval.
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 at *:* 90 FR 57285, December 10, 2025.
