SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. This request for comment is 

being made pursuant to Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA. 

With respect to the following 

collection of information, VBA invites 

comments on: (1) Whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of VBA’s 

functions, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) the accuracy of VBA’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information; (3) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

the use of other forms of information

Authority: 38 U.S.C. 23; 38 U.S.C.

Title: Application for Chapter 23 

Burial Benefits. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–NEW. 

Type of Review: Request for a NEW 

control number. 

Abstract: A claimant’s eligibility for 

needs-based pension programs are 

determined in part by countable family 

income and certain deductible 

expenses. Under the authority of 38 

U.S.C. Chapter 23 ‘‘Burial Benefits,’’ 

including 38 U.S.C. 2302, VA uses the 

information provided on VA Form 21P– 

530EZ to evaluate respondents’ 

eligibility for monetary burial benefits, 

including the burial allowance, plot or 

internment allowance, and 

transportation reimbursement. In these 

situations, VBA uses VA Form 21P– 

530EZ Application for Burial Benefits, 

to gather information that is necessary 

to determine eligibility for incomebased benefits and the rate payable; 

without this information, determination 

of eligibility would not be possible. The 

program office submits 21P–530EZ 

(Under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 23) as a new 

form for electronic submissions 

(automation). 

The program office requests removal 

of the 21P–530EZ (Under 38 U.S.C. 

Chapter 23), from the 2900–0003 series, 

as the form should have been submitted 

as a new form and the name has 

changed, requiring a separate control 

number. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

households. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 70,000 

hours. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Respondent: 30 minutes. 

Frequency of Response: Once. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

140,000. 

By direction of the Secretary.

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Veterans Health 

Administration, Department of Veterans 

Affairs (VA). 

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: Community Care Referrals 

and Authorization (CCRA) is an 

enterprise-wide system used by facility 

community care staff to generate 

referrals and authorizations for Veterans 

receiving care in the community. VA 

community care staff and non-VA staff 

use this solution to enhance Veteran 

access to care. CCRA is an integral 

component of the community care 

information technology architecture that 

allows Veterans to receive care from 

community providers. CCRA also allows 

Veterans and non-VA medical facilities 

to request VA authorization of emergent 

and urgent Veteran care. 

DATES: Comments on this modified 

system of records must be received no 

later than 30 days after date of 

publication in the Federal Register. If 

no public comment is received during 

the period allowed for comment or 

unless otherwise published in the 

Federal Register by VA, the modified 

system of records will become effective 

a minimum of 30 days after date of 

publication in the Federal Register. If 

VA receives public comments, VA shall 

review the comments to determine 

whether any changes to the notice are 

necessary. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be 

submitted through www.Regulations.gov 

or mailed to VA Privacy Service, 810 

Vermont Avenue NW, (005R1A), 

Washington, DC 20420. Comments 

should indicate that they are submitted 

in response to HealthShare Referral 

Manager (HSRM)–VA (180VA10D). 

Comments received will be available at

inspection or copies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CCRA is 

an enterprise-wide solution in support 

of the Veterans Access, Choice, and 

Accountability Act of 2014 (Pub. L. 

113–146) (‘‘Choice Act’’), as amended 

by the VA Expiring Authorities Act of 

2014 (Pub. L. 113–175), to generate 

referrals and authorizations for Veterans 

receiving care in the community. VA 

clinical providers and Non-VA clinical 

providers will access a cloud-based 

software system to request and refer 

clinical care for Veterans with 

Community Care providers. This 

solution will enhance Veteran access to 

care by utilizing a common and modern 

system to orchestrate the complex 

business of VA referral management. 

The CCRA solution is an integral 

component of the VA Community Care 

(CC) Information Technology (IT) 

architecture, and will track and share 

health care information and 

correspondence necessary for Veterans 

to be seen for appropriate and approved 

episodes of CC. Additionally, CCRA 

allows Veterans and non-VA-medical 

facilities to request VA authorization of 

emergent and urgent Veteran care. The 

CCRA solution will allow the VA to 

move to a process that generates 

standardized referrals and 

authorizations, according to clinical and 

business rules. 

The CCRA project provides 

HealthShare Referral manager by 

InterSystems as the CCRA solution. 

HealthShare Referral Manager is a 

commercial off-the-shelf software 

product that is hosted in an Amazon 

Web Services (AWS) FedRAMP High 

Gov cloud and is planned for enterprise 

integration with VA systems, both 

inside and outside of CC. 

Two additional Routine Uses are 

listed in this Modified SORN and are 

detailed in a later section. These 

Routine Uses directly relate to the 

referral process utilized by the CCRA 

solution.

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

CCRA is an enterprise-wide system 

used by community care staff to 

automatically generate referrals and 

authorizations for all Veterans receiving 

care in the community. The system is an 

integral component of the VA 

community care information technology 

(IT) architecture, and allows Veterans to 

receive care from community providers 

within the Community Care Network 

through the Veterans Choice Program. 

The CCRA system allows these 

providers to view relevant patient and 

clinical information from Veterans 

Information Systems and Technology 

Architecture (VistA). The exchange of 

health care information and 

authorizations enhances VA’s ability to 

ensure that Veterans receive the best 

health care available to address their 

medical needs. The CCRA system also 

enabled the VA to move from what is 

currently a largely manual process to an 

automated process that generates 

standardized referrals and 

authorizations according to clinical and 

business rules. The automated process
