PRASearch (Once at this link, you can

the historical versions of this 

Information Collection). 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: Federal law at 38 U.S.C. 

7366, Accountability and Oversight, 

states ‘‘(b) each such corporation (NPC) 

shall submit to the Secretary 

(Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA)) 

an annual report providing a detailed 

statement of its operations, activities, 

and accomplishments during that year.’’ 

The individual NPC annual reports are 

combined into one NPC Annual Report 

to Congress. VA oversight of NPCs 

includes reviews, audits, selfassessments, and remediation plans. 

This information collection is used for 

oversight of NPCs and includes the 

following: 

a. NPC Annual Report Template, VA 

Form 10–10073 

b. NPC Audit Actions Items 

Remediation Plans, VA Form 10– 

10073A 

c. NPPO Internal Control Questionnaire, 

VA Form 10–10073B 

d. NPPO Operations Oversight 

Questionnaire, VA Form 10–10073C 

NPC Annual Report Template, VA 

Form 10–10073 

Since 1988, when the enabling 

legislation for the NPCs was passed, 

annual reports have been obtained from 

each NPC and combined into an NPC 

Annual Report to Congress. Congress 

uses the combined NPC Annual Report 

to Congress to monitor the progress of 

the overall NPC program it created. The 

NPC Annual Report to Congress is also 

used by top-level VA executives to 

evaluate the program and to recommend 

changes where needed. VHA’s 

Nonprofit Oversight Board and the 

Nonprofit Program Office (NPPO) use 

both the combined NPC Annual Report 

to Congress and the individual NPC 

Annual Report Templates to monitor 

and oversee the NPCs. Trend analyses 

and other financial information are 

analyzed for each NPC and judgments 

made about each NPC’s progress, 

financial viability, stewardship of 

assets, and accomplishments. 

NPC Audit Actions Items Remediation 

Plans, VA Form 10–10073A 

The NPC Audit Action Items 

Remediation Plans information 

collection is used to review the NPCs’ 

remedies for audit deficiencies and 

recommendations. The major objective 

of the information collection is to help 

ensure proper corrective action. If any of 

the remediation plans submitted are 

inadequate, then the NPPO will make 

recommendations for sound, workable 

remedies. 

NPPO Internal Control Questionnaire, 

VA Form 10–10073B 

The NPPO Internal Control 

Questionnaire, or portions of it, will be 

used in conducting reviews, audits, and 

investigations of the NPCs. The major 

objective of the questionnaire is to 

uncover weaknesses and lapses in 

internal controls. The NPPO will then 

make recommendations for improved 

internal controls wherever there are 

weaknesses or lapses. The questionnaire 

also may be used as a voluntary selfassessment by the NPCs. 

NPPO Operations Oversight 

Questionnaire, VA Form 10–10073C 

The NPPO Operations Oversight 

Questionnaire, or portions of it, will be 

used in conducting operational reviews 

of the NPCs. The major objective of the 

questionnaire is to uncover operating 

problems and areas that need 

improvement. The NPPO will then 

make recommendations for operations 

improvements wherever problems or 

opportunities for improvement are 

found. The questionnaire also may be 

used as a voluntary self-assessment by 

the NPCs. 

VHA does not anticipate any changes 

to the annual number of responses or 

burden hours. However, there are some 

minor updates to the forms for 

clarification and to comply with current 

guidance on standard PRA language. 

Total Annual Burden: 858 hours.

Households.
