7103, 7104, 7105, 7107.
    Title: Decision Review Request: Board Appeal (Notice of 
Disagreement) and Appeal to the Board of Veterans' Appeals, VA Form 
10182 and VA Form 9
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0674.
    Type of Review: Reinstatement with Change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Abstract: Appellate review of the denial of VA benefits may only be 
initiated by filing a Notice of Disagreement with the Board. 38 U.S.C. 
Sec.  7105(a). The VA Form 9, ``Appeal to Board of Veterans' Appeals,'' 
is required to complete a legacy appeal to the Board. The completed 
form becomes the ``substantive appeal'' (or ``formal appeal''), which 
is required by 38 U.S.C. Sec. Sec.  7105(a) and (d)(3) in order to 
complete an appeal to the Board. Additionally, the proposed information 
collections allow for withdrawal of services by a representative, 
requests for changes in hearing dates and methods under 38 U.S.C. Sec.  
7107, and motions for reconsideration pursuant to 38 U.S.C. Sec.  
7103(a). The Board is requesting to revise the currently approved OMB 
Control No. 2900-0674, adding four information collections previously 
approved under OMB Control No. 2900-0085, and one new information 
collection. Revised Control No. 2900-0674 would contain all appeals-
related information collections for the legacy and new systems. 2900-
0085 will be discontinued upon approval of this request to renew 2900-
0674.
    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 83 No. 164 on Thursday, August 23, 2018,
