Title: Equal Opportunity Compliance 

Review Report, VA Form 20–8734 and 

Supplement to Equal Opportunity 

Compliance Review Report, VA Form 

20–8734a. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0455. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: Executive Order 12250, 

Leadership and Coordination of 

Nondiscrimination Laws, delegated 

authority to the Attorney General to 

coordinate the implementation and 

enforcement by Executive agencies of 

various equal opportunity laws 

prohibiting discriminatory practices in 

Federal programs and programs 

receiving Federal financial assistance. 

The Order extended the delegation to 

cover Title IX of the Education 

Amendments of 1972, and Section 504 

of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. 

Department of Justice issued 

government-wide guidelines (29 CFR 

42.406) instructing funding agencies to 

provide for the collection of data and 

information from applicants for and 

recipients of Federal assistance. 

VA Forms 20–8734 and 20–8734a are 

used by VA personnel during regularly 

scheduled educational compliance 

survey visits, as well as during 

investigations of equal opportunity 

complaints, to identify areas where 

there may be disparate treatment of 

members of protected groups. VA Form 

20–8734 is used to gather information 

from post-secondary proprietary schools 

below college level. The information is 

used to assure that VA-funded programs 

comply with equal opportunity laws. 

VA Form 20–8734a is used to gather 

information from students and 

instructors at post-secondary 

proprietary schools below college level. 

The information is used to assure that 

participants have equal access to equal 

treatment in VA-funded programs. If 

this information were not collected, VA 

would be unable to carry out the civil 

rights enforcement responsibilities 

established in the Department of 

Justice’s guidelines and VA’s 

regulations. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit. 

Estimated Annual Burden and 

Average Burden Per Respondent: Based 

on past experience, VBA estimates that 

76 interviews will be conducted with 

recipients using VA Form 20–8734 at an 

average of 1 hour and 45 minutes per 

interview (133 hours). This includes one 

hour for an interview with the principal 

facility official, plus 45 minutes for 

reviewing records and reports and 

touring the facility. It is estimated that 

76 interviews will be conducted with 

students using VA Form 20–8734a at an 

average of 30 minutes per interview (38 

hours) and with instructors at an 

average of 30 minutes per interview (38 

hours). Interviews are also conducted 

with 76 students without instructors at 

an average time of 30 minutes (38 

hours). The total burden hour is 247. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

228. 

Dated: December 30, 2010.
