(44 U.S.C., 3501 et seq.), this notice announces that the Office of 
Information and Technology, 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.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before April 5, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR A COPY OF THE SUBMISSION CONTACT: Denise 
McLamb, Information Management Service (045A4), Department of Veterans 
Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20420, (202) 273-8030 
or FAX (202) 273-5981 or e-mail to: [email protected]. Please

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: 38 CFR 1.519(A) Lists of Names and Addresses.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0438.
    Type of Review: Reinstatement, with change, of a previously 
approved collection for which approval has expired.
    Abstract: Title 38, U.S.C., 5701(f)(1) authorizes VA to disclose 
mailing lists of veterans and their dependents to nonprofit 
organizations, but only for certain specific and narrow purposes. 
Criminal penalties are provided for improper use of the list by the 
organization in violation of subsection (f) limitations. The 
information collection in this regulation ensures that any disclosure 
of a list under this subsection is authorized by law. VA must ascertain 
that the applicant is a nonprofit organization and intends to use the 
list for a proper purpose; if not, Title 38, U.S.C., 5701(a) prohibits 
disclosure. The additional information collection (specific geographic 
locations, point of contact, type of output and signature of 
organization head) is necessary to ensure timely and accurate 
processing of each application. Failure to obtain this information will 
prevent the Department from fulfilling its statutory obligations.
    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 September 14, 2000 at page 55680.
    Affected Public: Not-For-Profit Institutions and State, Local or 
Tribal Governments.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 50 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden Per Respondent: 60 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 50.
    Send comments and recommendations concerning any aspect of the 
information collection to VA's OMB Desk Officer, OMB Human Resources 
and Housing Branch, New Executive Office Building, Room 10235, 
Washington, DC 20503 (202) 395-7316. Please refer to ``OMB Control No. 
2900-0438'' in any correspondence.

    Dated: January 26, 2001.

    By direction of the Secretary:
Donald L. Neilson,
Director, Information Management Service.
