    Authority: 38 U.S.C. 501, 38 CFR 1.900 et. Seq.; 42 U.S.C. 2651-

alone: Failure to provide any or all of the requested information may 
delay or result in VA's inability to provide CHAMPVA benefits.

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 83 FR 16922 on April 17, 2018, pages 16922
