    Title: Notice to Department of Veterans Affairs of Veteran or 
Beneficiary Incarcerated in Penal Institution (VA Form 21-4193).
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0116.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: VA Form 21-4193 is used to gather information from penal 
institutions about incarcerated VA beneficiaries. When beneficiaries 
are incarcerated in penal institutions in excess of 60 days after 
conviction, VA benefits are reduced or terminated. Without this 
collection of information, VA would be unable to accurately adjust the 
rates of incarcerated beneficiaries and overpayments would result.
    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
