SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Veterans Application for Assistance in Acquiring Special 
Housing Adaptations, VA Form 26-4555d.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0300.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: Title 38, U.S.C. 2101 authorizes assistance to disabled 
Veterans in acquiring special housing and adaptations to dwellings. 
Under 38 U.S.C. 2101(b), grants are available to assist Veterans in 
making adaptations to their current residences or one which they intend 
to live in as long as the home is owned by the Veteran or a member of 
the Veteran's family. VA Form 26-4555d enables field personnel to 
evaluate the request for adaptations. This form is needed because of 
the difference in disabilities, the amount of alteration, adaptation to 
the house and title requirements.
    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 February 13, 2013, at pages 10266-10267.

    Estimated Annual Burden: 33 hours.

    Estimated Number of Respondents: 100.
