Proposed Information Collection

Activity; Public Comment Request:

Application for Accreditation as

Service Organization Representative,

VA Form 21; and Appointment of

Attorney or Agent as Claimant’s

Representative, VA Form 22a

AGENCY: Office of General Counsel,

Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort

to reduce paperwork and respondent

burden, the Office of General Counsel

(OGC) invites the general public and

other Federal agencies to comment on

this information collection. This request

for comment is being made pursuant to

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(Pub. L. 104–13; 44 U.S.C.

3506(c)(2)(A)). Comments should

address the accuracy of the burden

estimates and ways to minimize the

burden including the use of automated

collection techniques or the use of other

forms of information technology, as well

as other relevant aspects of the

information collection.

DATES: Written comments and

recommendations on the proposal for

the collection of information should be

received by no later than February 9,

1996.

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments

to Harold (Butch) Miller, Office of

General Counsel (026A), Department of

Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue,

NW, Washington, DC 20420. All

comments will become a matter of

public record and will be summarized

in the OGC request for Office of

Management and Budget (OMB)

approval. In this document OGC is

soliciting comments concerning the

following information collection:

OMB Control Number: 2900–0018.

Title and Form Number: Application

for Accreditation as Service

Organization Representative, VA Form

21; and Appointment of Attorney or

Agent as Claimant’s Representative, VA

Form 22a.

Type of Review: Reinstatement,

without change, of a previously

approved collection for which approval

has expired.

Need and Uses: The forms are used to

appoint a service organization, attorney

or agent as a representative in claims for

VA benefits.

Current Circumstances: VA Form 21

will be evaluated by Office of General

Counsel to determine qualification for

accreditation and the need for

cautionary instructions concerning

conflict of interest. Applicants meeting

the regulatory standards are issued an

ID card allowing them access to VA files

of claimants who have designated the

service organization with which they

are affiliated as claims representative

and are issued a letter setting forth their

responsibilities. Those denied

accreditation, and their organizations,

are informed of the reason for the

denial. If the information were not

collected, VA would have no way of

evaluating applicants for accreditation

under the requirements of 38 CFR

14.629.

VA Form 22a will be reviewed by

VA’s Veterans Benefits Administration.

The information on the form will be

used to ascertain the identity of the

representative appointed by the

claimant to represent him or her and the

scope of the representative’s authority to

inspect records. This information is

necessary for determining whether

access to claimant records may be

provided and for notification purposes.

If the information were not collected,

VA could not recognize the

representative as the attorney or agent of

the claimant under applicable statutes

and regulations and could not provide

access to claimant records.

Affected Public: Individuals and

households, Not-for-profit institutions

and State, Local or Tribal Government.

Estimated Annual Burden: 1,650

hours.

Estimated Average Burden Per

Respondent: 15 minutes.

Frequency of Response: On occasion.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

6,600.
