**SUMMARY:**

In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 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.

Without this information, VA would be unable to effectively administer 38 U.S.C. 1805, 1815, 1821, and 1822.

No substantive changes have been made to this form. The respondent burden has increased due to the estimated number of receivables averaged over the past year.
