Title: Application and Training 

Agreement for Apprenticeship and Onthe-Job Training Programs, VA Forms 

22–8864 and 22–8865. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0342. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: The Training Agreement, 

VA Form 22–8864 is no longer being 

submitted to VA, therefore it no longer 

needs an OMB approval. VA mostly 

requires employers with OJT or 

Apprenticeship programs approved for 

VA benefits to provide a training 

agreement to prospective Veterans using 

VA benefits while training with their 

company. The 22–8864 has always been 

an option for these employers to use if 

they didn’t have their own training 

agreement or use one from their state 

department of labor. Employers used to 

submit a copy of the VA Form 22–8864 

or their own as a condition of the 

Veteran receiving VA benefits. The 

employer is still required to provide a 

training agreement to their trainees, but 

VA no longer collects it as a condition 

of paying EDU benefits. 

The Employer’s Application to 

Provide Job Training, VA Form 22–8865 

(or the equivalent tool provided by the 

SAAs) is used to ensure that training 

programs meet the statutory and 

regulatory requirements for 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 88 FR 

76278 on Monday, November 6, 2023, 

pages 76278 and 76279. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

Households. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 1,710 

hours. 

Estimated Average Burden Time per 

Respondent: 90 minutes. 

Frequency of Response: Once. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,140. 

By direction of the Secretary.
