Title: Department of Veterans Affairs, 

Office of Small and Disadvantaged 

Business Utilization, VA Form 0896A. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0741. 

Type of Review: Reinstatement with 

changes of a currently expired approved 

collection. 

Abstract: This Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) submission seeks 

reinstatement with changes of Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval No. 2900–0741 as follows: Due 

to the increased number of respondents, 

the total annual burden hours increased 

by 400, from 610 to 1,010. However, the 

average burden time per response has 

not changed. The VA Form 0896A, 

Report of Subcontracts to Small and 

Veteran-owned Business is utilized to 

ensure that subcontract information 

reported by prime contractors and 

utilized for credit against subcontracting 

goals is accurate and includes ServiceDisabled Veteran-Owned Small 

Business (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned 

Small Business (VOSB) that are verified 

for eligibility in the Vender Information 

Pages database maintained by VA 

OSDBU. This process involves the use 

of electronic submissions of information 

via email. Contractors will submit 

information on VA Form 0896A. In the 

event that a contractor does not have the 

capability to submit the form as an 

email attachment, it can also be 

provided as a hardcopy. VA OSDBU 

personnel will confirm the information 

reported on the form by the prime 

contractors through the VA’s Vendor 

Information Pages and FFATA 

Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) 

databases and, when necessary, request 

that the SDVOSB and VOSB firms 

subcontracted by the prime contractors 

review it and verify its accuracy. The 

OSDBU will utilize the information 

reported by the prime contractors, the 

FSRS, and any subcontractors in order 

to compile annual reports to reflect the 

level of accuracy in the reporting being 

accomplished by the prime contractors. 

This will allow the VA to comply with 

the ‘‘review mechanism’’ requirement of 

Public Law 109–461. The Federal 

Register Notice with a 60-day comment 

period soliciting comments on this 

collection of information was published 

at 85 FR 147 on July 30, 2020 page 

45960. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit and not-for-profit institutions. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 1,010 

Burden Hours.

Respondent: 120 Minutes. 

Frequency of Response: Annually. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

505.
