SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: VA Form 28-0791, Pre and Post Independent Living Assessment.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0681 https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRASearch.
    Type of Review: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved 
collection.
    Abstract: VA Form 28-0791, Pre and Post Independent Living 
Assessment (IL) is used by the Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor 
(VRC) during the initial and post IL evaluations. During this face-to-
face meeting, the VRC identifies impairments and or barriers the 
Veteran may be experiencing with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). The 
VRC then uses this information to identify the needs for services. The 
VRC compares the information obtained from the preliminary and post 
plan assessments to determine if there are improvements in the 
Veteran's activities of daily living. Without the information gathered 
on this form, VR&E is not able to identify IL needs and provide needed 
services. There are no other invitations or other communications sent 
to the respondent associated with the information collection. Failure 
to collect this information would have a detrimental impact upon the 
determination of appropriate rehabilitation goals for Veterans 
participating in the IL program. This would negatively impact the 
Veteran's participation in his or her rehabilitation program.
    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 89 FR 57996, July 16, 2024.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 906 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 30 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: Two times.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 906 per year.
    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
