SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 

Generic Clearance for Meaningful 

Access Information Collections. 

OMB Control Number: 1520–0009. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change. 

Description: A court order was issued 

in American Council of the Blind v. 

Paulson, 591 F. Supp. 2d 1 (D.D.C. 

2008) (‘‘ACB v. Paulson’’) requiring the 

Department of the Treasury and BEP to 

‘‘provide meaningful access to United 

States currency for blind and other 

visually impaired persons, which steps 

shall be completed, in connection with 

each denomination of currency, not 

later than the date when a redesign of 

that denomination is next approved by 

the Secretary of the Treasury . . . .’’ 

In compliance with the court’s order, 

BEP intends to meet with blind and 

visually impaired persons and request 

their feedback about tactile features that 

BEP is considering for possible 

incorporation into the next U.S. paper 

currency redesign. BEP employees will 

attend national conventions and 

conferences for disabled persons, as 

well as focus groups and other meetings. 

At those gatherings, BEP employees will 

invite blind and visually impaired 

persons to provide feedback about 

certain tactile features being considered 

for inclusion in future United States 

currency paper designs. In the past BEP 

contracted with specialists in the field 

of tactile acuity to develop a 

methodology for collecting the feedback. 

This same or substantially similar 

methodology will be used to continue 

this information collection. 

Over the next three years, the BEP 

anticipates undertaking a variety of new 

information collection activities related 

to BEP’s continued efforts to provide 

meaningful access to U.S. paper 

currency for blind and visually 

impaired persons. Following standard 

OMB requirements, for each information 

collection that BEP proposes to 

undertake under this generic clearance, 

the OMB will be notified at least two 

weeks in advance and provided with a 

copy of the information collection 

instrument along with supportive 

materials. The BEP will only undertake 

a new collection if the OMB does not 

object to the BEP’s proposal.

Budget approval. All comments will

Health and Use of Health Care. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0609

PRASearch. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: The VA Survey of Veteran 

Enrollees’ Health and Use of Health 

Care gathers information from Veterans 

enrolled in the VA Health Care System 

about factors that influence their health 

care utilization choices. The original 

authority for this information collection 

is from Public Law 104, section 262, 

Veterans’ Health Care Eligibility Reform 

Act of 1996. Data collected are used to 

gain insights into Veteran preferences 

and to provide VA and Veterans Health 

Administration (VHA) management 

guidance in preparing for future Veteran 

needs. In addition to factors influencing 

health care choices, the data collected 

include enrollees’ perceived health 

status and need for assistance, available 

insurances, self-reported utilization of 

VA services versus other health care 

services, reasons for using VA, barriers 

to seeking care, ability and comfort level 

with accessing virtual care, as well as 

general demographics and family 

characteristics that may influence 

utilization but cannot be accessed 

elsewhere. Based upon historical 

program data, the survey has been 

revised to remove some questions and 

add other questions, and certain 

questions are asked only in alternating 

years. Further, the target sample of 

respondents has been decreased to 

reduce costs and reduce burden on 

Veterans, while maintaining the

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. The Federal Register

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Request for Determination of 

Reasonable Value Real Estate (VA Forms 

26–1805, and 26–1805–1). 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0045 

https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRASearch. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: VA utilizes Form 26–1805 

(paper form) and 26–1805–1 (digital 

form) for lenders to request an appraisal 

and assign an appraiser (i.e., ‘‘ordering’’ 

an appraisal), which ultimately provides 

the appraiser with the authority to be on 

the property to conduct the appraisal 

(i.e., an engagement letter). This 

information collection request seeks to 

expand this data collection clearance to 

encompass a modernized, end-to-end 

appraisal management process. Under 

this ICR extension, VA will capture 

information from lenders around when 

an appraisal has been ordered (current 

VA Form 26–1805), but will also 

capture information and workflow 

associated with the assignment, 

scheduling, and review of an appraisal 

by VA or a lender. This process will be 

consistent with the rest of the mortgage 

industry, and will align VA’s appraisal 

process with the industry standard. 

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

Estimated Annual Burden: 467,100.

Frequency of Response: One-time per
