Benefits Administration (VBA), Department of Veterans Affairs, has 
submitted the collection of information abstracted below to the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The PRA 
submission describes the nature of the information collection and its 
expected cost and burden; it includes the actual data collection 
instrument.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Application for Education Loan, VA Form 22-8725.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0236.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: This form requests information needed to determine 
eligibility for an education loan. VA uses the information to determine 
whether an eligible student's education-related expenses will exceed 
his or her financial resources during a specific enrollment period. The 
amount of the education may not be more than the difference between an 
applicant's education-related expenses and his or her available 
financial resources. Without this information, VA might underpay or 
overpay the amount of an education loan.
    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 on April 23, 1999, at pages 20061-20062.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 20 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden Per Respondent: 40 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: Generally one time.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 30.
    Send comments and recommendations concerning any aspect of the 
information collection to VA's OMB Desk Officer, Allison Eydt, OMB 
Human Resources and Housing Branch, New Executive Office Building, Room 
10235, Washington, DC 20503 (202) 395-4650. Please refer to ``OMB 
Control No. 2900-0236'' in any correspondence.
