SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., and its 
attendant regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, require a Federal agency to 
consider the impact of paperwork and other information collection 
burdens imposed on the public and to solicit public comments on the 
information collections. The PRA also provides that an agency may not 
collect or sponsor the collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. See 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3)(vi). OMB has 
approved the HIRE Vets Medallion Program information collections under 
control number 1293-0015.
    In accordance with the PRA, VETS solicited comments on the HIRE 
Vets Medallion Program information collections as they were proposed in
