SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: 38 U.S.C. 5902; 38 CFR 

14.628. 

Title: Requirements for Recognition as 

a VA Accredited Organization. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0850. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: In order for an organization 

to provide representation to claimants 

before VA regarding claims for VA 

benefits, the organization must be 

recognized by VA for that purpose. 

Section 5902(a) of title 38, United States 

Code, authorizes VA to recognize 

organizations for the limited purpose of 

ensuring competent representation of 

veterans in claims for benefits 

administered by VA. VA implemented 

this authority in 38 CFR 14.628. An 

organization must apply for VA 

recognition, supplying information as 

specified in section 14.628 to 

demonstrate that it satisfies the legal 

requirements for recognition. 

(Organizations may provide services to 

veterans without VA recognition if the 

services do not include the preparation, 

presentation, and prosecution of claims 

for VA benefits.) The information 

submitted by the organizations in 

conjunction with a request for 

recognition is used by VA in reviewing 

accreditation applications to determine 

whether organizations meet the 

requirements for VA recognition under 

section 14.628. VA relies on this 

information to ensure that it is granting 

recognition only to organizations that 

can provide long-term, competent 

representation to VA claimants. 

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: Vol. 

88, No. 155, Monday, August 14, 2023, 

page 55124 (88 FR 55124).
