Abstract:
VA Form 26-4555 is used to gather the necessary information to determine the eligibility for the Veteran or service member for specially adapted housing or for a special home adaptation grant. The estimated burden hours have increased compared to the prior submission because VA is now including the collections related to the construction and adaptation process. For this renewal, the estimated respondent burden has increased to account for documentation requirements associated with construction and adaptation activities, which increased the number of participating respondents from 7,000 to 11,200 and, in turn, increased the total annual burden hours.
Affected Public:
Individuals.
Estimated Annual Burden:
4,293 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent:
23 minutes.
Frequency of Response:
Annually.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
11,200.
