Title: Advertising, Sales, Enrollment 

Materials, and Candidate Handbooks. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0682. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: This notice is replacing the 

previous 60-Day Notice, Vol. 86 No. 239 

that was published on January 16, 2021. 

A Correction Notice was published in 

Vol. 87 No. 1 on January 3, 2022. The 

statute prohibits approval of the 

enrollment of a Veteran in a course if 

the educational institution uses 

advertising, sales, or enrollment 

practices that are erroneous, deceptive, 

or misleading either by actual statement, 

omission, or intimation. The 

advertising, sales and enrollment 

materials are reviewed to determine if 

the institution is in compliance with 

guidelines for approval. VA received 

two public comments which questions 

the 15-minute length of burden time 

needed to gather the information 

required for VA review upon 

compliance for this ICR. After careful 

assessment, VA agrees with the 

comments, and have therefore adjusted 

the time burden from 15 minutes to 60 

minutes accordingly, and as result have 

updated the Supporting Statement to 

reflect the change. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

Households. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 5,525 

hours. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Respondent: 60 minutes. 

Frequency of Response: Annually. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

5,525. 

By direction of the Secretary.

VA PRA Clearance Officer, Office of
