SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the

3501–3521), Federal agencies must 

obtain approval from the Office of

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, VHA invites 

comments on: (1) whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of VHA’s 

functions, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) the accuracy of VHA’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 

technology. 

The collection of this information is 

necessary to comply with the provisions 

of PL 101–366 (Department of Veterans 

Affairs (VA) Nurse Pay Act of 1990) as 

amended by 106–419 (Veterans Benefits 

and Health Care Improvement Act of

locality pay system for certain health 

care personnel within VA. Rates of pay 

are established by VA medical facility 

Directors based on rates of 

compensation for corresponding 

positions in the local labor market. The 

law requires that where available, data 

from the Bureau of Labor Statistics or 

other third party industry surveys will 

be used in determining the beginning 

rates of compensation. However, VA 

medical facility Directors may conduct 

a salary survey in an attempt to collect 

comparable survey data in order to 

implement and adjust rates for 

registered nurses, nurse anesthetists, 

and other health care personnel when 

other data sources are not available.
