Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA.
    With respect to the following collection of information, VBA

is necessary for the proper performance of VBA's functions, including 
whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy

    Title: Application for Adaptive Sports Grant.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-NEW.
    Type of Review: New Collection.
    Abstract: Legal authority for this data collection is found under 
38 U.S.C. 521A that authorizes and mandates the collection of data 
during the grant application, implementation to include quarterly and 
annual reporting, and closeout phases of the adaptive sports grant. 
Mandated collection of data allows measurement and evaluation of the 
adaptive sports grant program, the goal of which is providing adaptive 
sport opportunities for disabled veterans and members of the Armed 
Forces.
    The information will be used by VA to evaluate multiple criteria to 
confirm grantee eligibility, to score grantee proposals according to 
application criteria, and to ensure program efficacy and appropriate 
use of grant funds. The application information will indicate whether 
and to what extent a grant program is likely to be successful in 
meeting the program's intent for providing adaptive sports 
opportunities for disabled veterans and members of the Armed Forces.
    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 30, 2015 at 80FR 58814.
