(44 U.S.C. 3501-3521), this notice announces that the Veterans Benefits 
Administration (VBA), Department of Veterans Affairs, will submit the 
collection of information abstracted below to the Office of Management

through www.Regulations.gov, or to Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Attn: VA Desk Officer; 725

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Statement of Disappearance, VA Form 21P-1775.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0036.
    Type of Review: Extension without change 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 survivors. 38 U.S.C. 108 requires a formal 
``presumption of death'' when a veteran has been missing for seven 
years. Entitlement to death benefits cannot be determined in these 
cases until VA has made a decision of presumption of death.
    VA Form 21P-1775 is used to gather the necessary information to 
determine if a decision of presumptive death can be made for benefit 
payment purposes. It would be impossible to administer the survivor 
benefits program without this collection of information.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 28 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 2 hours and 45 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: One time.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 10.

    By direction of the Secretary.

Program Specialist, Office of Privacy and Records Management,
