SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Authority: 38 U.S.C. 1503 and 38 U.S.C. 1522.
    Title: Pension Claim Questionnaire for Farm Income (21P-4165).
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0095.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) through its 
Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) administers an integrated 
program of benefits and services, established by law, for Veterans, 
service personnel, and their dependents and/or beneficiaries.
    Entitlement to pension benefits for Veterans and their surviving 
dependents is based on the family's countable annual income under the 
authority of 38 U.S.C. 1503 and under the authority of 38 U.S.C. 1522. 
VA Form 21P-4165 is used to gather the necessary information to 
evaluate the claimant's countable income and net worth related to the 
operation of a farm for the purpose of establishing entitlement to 
pension benefits and to evaluate a beneficiary's ongoing entitlement to 
pension benefits.
    The respondent burden has decreased due to the estimated number of 
receivables averaged over the past year. No other changes have been 
made to this form.
    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 87 FR 86 on May 4, 2022, page 26393.

    Estimated Annual Burden: 109 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 30 minutes.

    Estimated Number of Respondents: 218.

    By direction of the Secretary.
