SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

    Authority: U.S. Code 38 Section 3689.

    Title: Approval of Licensing or Certification Test and Organization 
or Entity.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0697.
    Type of Review: Reinstatement of a previously approved collection.
    Abstract: SAAs and VA will use the information to decide whether 
the licensing and certification tests, and the organizations offering 
them, should be approved for use under the education programs VA 
administers. VA did not develop an official form for this information 
collection since section 3689 of title 38, United States Code permitted 
VA to delegate the approval functions to the State Approving Agencies; 
and from the inception of this information collection, VA has given the 
State Approving Agencies the authority to approve licensing and 
certification tests and organizations. Consequently, the State 
Approving Agencies have developed their own forms to gather information 
they will need per their respective state laws to decide whether the 
licensing and certification tests and the organizations offering them 
should be approved. In the case of an organization seeking approval 
directly from VA, any information VA receives concerning the request 
for approval is forwarded directly to the appropriate State Approving 
Agency. Since SAAs have approval authority, education institutions and 
licensing and certification organizations supply information to the 
SAAs for approval in a manner specified by the SAA.
    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 82 FR 51 on 
March 17, 2017, pages 14277-14278.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 817 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 3 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Annually.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2451 respondents.

    By direction of the Secretary.

Cynthia Harvey-Pryor,
Department Clearance Officer, Office of Privacy and Records Management, 
Department of Veterans Affairs.
