Title: Reimbursement of Certain 

Medical Expenses for Camp Lejeune 

Family Members. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0822. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently existing collection. 

Abstract: Under 38 U.S.C. 1787, VA is 

required to furnish hospital care and 

medical services to the family members 

of certain veterans who were stationed 

at Camp Lejeune between 1957 and 

1987. In order to furnish such care, VA 

must collect certain information from 

the family members to ensure that they 

meet the requirements of the law. VA 

cannot furnish the statutorily-mandated 

hospital care and medical services until 

the collection of information is 

approved. The specific hospital care and 

medical services that VA must provide 

are for a number of illnesses and 

conditions connected to exposure to 

contaminated drinking water while at 

Camp Lejeune. Many of these 

conditions are life-threatening and 

require immediate medical attention. 

Therefore, VA certifies that the 

collection of information meets each of 

the listed criteria for the following 

reasons: 

(i) The collection is needed prior to 

the expiration of time periods 

established under this Part, because we 

anticipate that the regulations 

authorizing VA to furnish hospital care 

and medical service to Camp Lejeune 

family members will publish and 

become effective prior to the expiration 

of the time periods established under 

this Part. 

(ii) The collection is essential to the 

mission of the agency, because VA 

cannot begin to furnish the hospital care 

and medical services set forth in 

regulation and required by law, to Camp 

Lejeune family members without forms 

without first collecting required 

information. 

(iii) VA cannot reasonably comply 

with the normal clearance procedures 

because public harm is reasonably likely 

to result if normal clearance procedures 

are followed. VA will furnish Camp 

Lejeune family members with hospital 

care and medical services for 15 

illnesses and conditions that are life 

threatening and require immediate 

medical intervention. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

Households. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

5,838 hours. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Respondent: 18.75 minutes. 

Frequency of Response: Yearly. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

21,720. 

Dated: December 17, 2014. 

By direction of the Secretary.

Department Clearance Officer, U.S.
